I'm american so my opinion doesn't matter... But personally I don't like Royal that much, but she is the leftist front runner so I WOULD vote for her. The other front runners are terrible---especially Sarkozy.

I'm pretty interested in French politics, after A level French. I think the French situation is similar to the English one - i.e. none of the politicians seem that great. Sarkozy seems awful; I was trying to encourage my French friends at the weekend to vote for anyone to stop him getting in. Except the FN or the really crazy fascist parties, of course. Royal seems alright, I guess, compared with the alternatives.

But who are the other frontrunners? I haven't kept that up-to-date with it recently; you never hear about anyone but these two, it's like it's a foregone conclusion that it'll be one or the other.
