Just in from France24: FN fails in all regions.....
The Uniparties united to deny the FN a win.
Yep too bad!
Thanks! But hey -- at least we get to hear lots of carping about it. I'm glad this worked out, assuming that Sarkozy continues as party leader of the former UMP for 2017's election. I'm sure we all remember how Segolene led the PS after beating Hollande for the leadership (and after their unmarried with children relationship fell apart), was leading in polls, then crashed and burned during one of the debates, and the polling numbers swapped places, leading to Sarkozy's victory. Sarko will have to get serious about dealing with the "yoots", and/or Hollande will have to get started on it, instead of just some window-dressing raids.
