Re: Le Pen to lead France out of EU
Jospin lost to Le pen by a small margin of 200,000 votes.
During this first round, there were many more leftists candidates than rightists; meaning: if you add all the votes to all the progressists, they are more numerous than the conservatives.
What's going to be interesting is to follow the legislative elections (later on) and see what government might come out of it.
It's far from excluded that the present cohabitation will be renewed, albeit with a new prime minister (Jospin retires after the second round).
Nobody really wants this.
