Re: French election early results thread (none / 1)

Green candidate Voynet already called on Green voters to support Ségo in the second round, what's more, she also called for a Sixth Republic, an idea espoused by Royal.

I'm having trouble with my stream but I thought I heard LAguillier also call for a vote against Sarkozy; not that it will influence many people but it might indicate a real determination to rally against him rather than just express discontent with the PS.

Libé just wrote the same. I can't remember, which Trots were generally against and which were for a vote for the PS candidate in the second round? I seem to remember just Laguiller's bunch was against.

Laguiller (none / 1)

has indeed always been the hardcore 'let things get worse so that revolution comes faster" kind. It's pretty unexpected to see her call so explicitly for Royal. Interesting.

Note that de Villiers has already stated that he did NOT call his voters to go for Sarkozy.

Le Pen of course, has stated that his voters are "not for sale" and will not call for anyone.

Voynet, Buffer (communists) and Laguiller have called for Royal. In the case of Laguiller, it's the first time ever she does that. In 2002, she did not even call for a vote in the second round.
