So, ladies - could you resist the electoral appeal of this fellow?:
It is the one, the only Nicolas Hulot - a sort of French David Attenborough / late period John Craven - running as a Green candidate. His distinctly municipal haircut must be the reason for 9% of French women supporting him where only 3% of the chaps do.
Marine Le Pen attracts 25% of male support to 17% female support. Check google images to see her appeal or otherwise. Overall, French women skew far more left than the men. Elsewhere, a bravo to the sensible 50+ cohort - 2% of them opt for Trot postman Besancenot, whereas 4% of the overall population do. All of these figure are based on Dominique Strauss-Kahn being the PS's candidate.
Rather more seriously, MLP would beat Sarko to the second round whoever is the Socialist party candidate. Don't say I didn't warn you, because I did some time back.

ReplyDeleteThat, of course, has become far more so as the security of the home gives way to wanting it all.
Politically just when you think the French might do something sensible they throw a collective hissy fit and go off-reservation.
ReplyDeleteBeers and popcorn at the ready for the elections there, I think.
