"Far right's surge sows division within Sarkozy party"

"With over 200 runoffs opposing far-right and socialist candidates in local elections on Sunday, the ruling, centre-right party of President Nicolas Sarkozy has refused to call for a left-wing vote, a position many in the party are uncomfortable with.

Five days before the second round of local elections, and in the wake of a first-round electoral drubbing, France's ruling Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) appears rife with division. Prime Minister François Fillon (pictured above), for one, has blatantly defied runoff guidelines by President Nicolas Sarkozy.

In last Sunday's elections, in which half of France's 2,023 cantons, the country's smallest territorial units, were up for grabs, the National Front (FN) set the stage for big political gains. The anti-immigration party led by Marine Le Pen won a place in the second round in 394 cantons, or one in five of all contested councils."

The prolem is that both the left and the right in France are made up of elites that dont seem to bother listening to your average Jean Cuisse de grenouilles bloggs. Le Pen has Fuck-you appeal. (Even though i doubt anyones gone between that things legs in a long time... :S )
