Perhaps its an effort to explain the French result to those who no longer actually read the newspaper.

Le Pen is a quasi-Hilter statue that has been pulled down, Royal is that french trollop with the flag, and Sarkozy makes an ugly version of Thatcher.

Clearly, you are supposed to be barracking for Royal and congratulating yourself on not living in France.
