    Could Le Pen make a surprise and come in second round?

    Extremely unlikely.

    I don't think this is a general consensus in France.
    The French want peaceful relations with their neighbors - of whom, the Germans - that doesn't mean they consider them to be their best allies. And personnaIly I don't.
    Some anti-german feeling may come up very quickly (in France, we refere to it as to "germanophobie") as we saw it late 2011, especialy when we feel that Germans want to rule Europe (in fact, they rule it as long as they can sell their goods abroad especially within he European Union to bring them back money. And Germany is still strongly linked up to her history, mainly from 1933 to 1945. No one wants to forget about this).
    But the open back-up from Frau Merkel to Sarkozy was very indecent. This woman (and her staff) seem to forget that the strong Euro policy and the will of the French people don't necessarily mix together. And this presidential election is before all a French business, where the other countries (like Germany) don't have to smuggle.

    81.5% voted. Not too shabby, out of 44 million voters...

    If Sarkozy had not run a campaign on his right, he might not have been in the second round.

    Hollande 28.6%, Sarkozy 27%, Le Pen 19%

    The Centrists have voted left, this time.

    Fvck, Porcinet is leading. 19% for the MLP?

    Bayrou will decide of the fate of Sarkozy.

    My assumptions were right... Mélenchon's position in the polls was unbelievable. Now there's only 3 points between Sarkozy and Hollande, much closer than what the polls predicted... And Le Pen votes, once again, underestimated.

    Under what conditions will there be a round 2, a runoff?

    What allows you to call him Porcinet?

    Sometimes i think social democrats are something like Neo in Matrix (2nd and 3rd part).
    They fix the system and prevent a revolution...
    It was like that in 1920, in 1970 and in 1998

    20 per cent for Le Pen is a bit surprising

    The 2nd round is automatic between Hollande and Sarkozy. The French system aims at having one candidate getting over 50% of the votes.

    However, those people who voted for Le Pen should be more inclined to vote for Sarko in the second round?
