I can think of many reasons why M. Le Pen should be voted against, as can you, I'm sure! From the press accounts over here, it would seem that the people of France are so angry at his relative success (against M. Jospin, especially) that I would expect a huge backlash and a very strong vote for M. Chirac.
One cannot imagine the French wanting to go back to the toise et ligne. Bonne chance! Jim On Monday, 2002 April 29 0641, Louis JOURDAN wrote: > Next Sunday France will vote for a new President.
