I believe it has already been proven in 2002 that Le Pen has no chance to be elected as President - anybody from the "moderate" right or left who will compete against him is sure to be elected (with ex-Soviet Republic scores to boot)

I am concerned though about Bayrou's proposal to deploy fully proportional elections for the parliament - effectively opening seats for the FN, but that can be debated as it also would help see more greens or extreme-left in the parliament.
