Daily Kos: Oh Noes! Teh Evil is Engulfing France.

France is veering left.
Who is leading this charge?
Why three women, bien sûr.
A socialist,a green and a communist .

France may veer left, France is a left-leaning nation. But somehow or other it always ends up being governed by the right. Very strange

Re: French Elections (4.00 / 2)

Well, the diary did catch my attention more because there are three women involved, not so much for the move towards the left. However, I would of course welcome a move toward the left.

Re: French Elections (none / 0)

I think the only reason anybody noticed this was the photo op of 3 women. Especially, as Drew so charmingly noted in that diary's comments, "Cecile Duflot is hot", which is always excuse enough for newspaper picture editors.

Hmm.... (none / 0)

...the photo-op is actually a photoshop.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

No, it seems not to be a photoshop - see the video at the end of the link: France24 - France heads to second round of regional elections
