From the "You can't make this up" dept (4.00 / 2)

Apparently, Rachida Dati, who is currently #2 in the Ile De France list for the EP elections, almost was a candidate in the 1994 elections - on the PS list.

She claims she got there because she knew two then-PS members of the current UMP government, Martin Hirsch and Kouchner... She probably resigned from the PS list to keep her options open.
