| Mr Khan said: So the French results are in, with Hollande in first, followed by Sarkozy, and actually with Le Pen in 3rd. Given Le Pen's strong showing, i think Sarkozy could clinch a runoff (since the Le Pen voters sure as hell aren't going for Hollande). That far-left guy came in 4th, with others further down. |
That'll probably be the case, though supporting Sarkozy and his damaged political image wouldn't be within the Front Nationale best interests if they want to settle themselves as the main opposition party Having Hollande to win elections and then fail implementing his economic agenda would probably create a repeat of last year's situation in Spain and, surely the NF hopes, give Le Pen victory the next time around.
