What is it with french voters? They just love being dominated. The people as a whole, french women in particular. They dont even hesitate to vote for the most egocentric and offensive candidate in the first round of the presidential election. The candidate who is continusly disrespectful of his oppenents and completely intolerent of other has certainly managed to trick some by trying to show a softer side in this campaign - while it shouldn't be a secret to anyone that it does not need much to get this guy rolling - if he doesn't like something or someone we know about it. He doesn't hesitate to get journalists fired if they report something that is not to his liking. He is, according to Marianne magazine " an aggressive control freak" and there are many reports of his fits of rage. - So this might be France's new president in two weeks time.. a president that is supposed to unify the country and represent it abroad. Someone, that half of France hates but probably will still let win in the second round. And if he does, maybe it would be an idea to bring your cars to the suburbs, especially if they are old - and insured - because it's very likely that a victory of  someone like "the dangerous Mr. Sarkozy" will fuel riots and rise anger all around the country. I wish I could have said I told you so - but hey lets hope its not too late. 

There are still two tiny chances left:
-Either that the other presidential candidate, Segolene Royal starts SPEAKING to the french people - not only to herself and tries to convince the population that she can actually do something to change France, not only talk about it with her friends and colleges at the socialist party - concrete actions - and no more words, 
 and/ or
-That the french voters get to know the real mr. Sarkozy, the one who threatens people that he doesn't like for so many reasons, the one who has always desperatly craved for power and will do anything, and I mean anything to get there, the one who doesn't have any self control, and even attacks members of his own family (but of course everyone is too afraid to report it here in France although evidence is around). The one who always talks about "the one", himself. I dont think I have ever heard a speech by the candidate that does not (and often amlost only) include some reference to himself, What he has done, will do, what he thinks and who he is. He proudly announces whenever he gets the chance that he knows what to do and does not take orders from anyone (or advice for that matter). There is him and only him.

How did he get this far? He must have one of the best political communication team in the world.

How did WE get here? That is a good question. Almost as good as why french women tolerate constantly being agressed  by men in the street daily. Like it is totally normal to have no selfcontrol when you are a french man. Common. Look around you. And get a grip.
