The French Elections... for dummies

May 5th 2007 15:42
The French Elections
Put down your sandwich poulet crudites and meerkat your attention in the Western European direction! It's time to elect a new president of France.
The two finalists are Nicolas Sarkozy (Mr let's-ship-out-the-muslims) and Segolene Royal (Ms free-kittens-for-everyone). They'll decide Sunday in an epic cheese-wheel bowling battle who shall be France's Next Top President.
The polls are tipping that Nicolas Sarkozy (pron. NICK-OH-LAH SARR-KOH-ZEE) will win, but due to his escargot fumigation policies, he's not exactly the most prime chardonnay in the tonneau for everyone.
...or maybe he's just SO popular that he sexually excites people. Nicolas is unpopular because he's not the biggest fan of muslims... though Nicolas is popular because he's not the biggest fan of muslims.
His competitor is a woman. Segolene Royal (p ron. SEGG-OH-LENN ROY-AHHL). Please take an obliged minute to judge her appearance.

People like her because she's fair and tolerant... people don't like her because she has no opinions. She looks like a bit like a bird as well.

The parisians I talk to all have some sort of an "aggressive muslim" story to tell, which is why they vote for Sarkozy. They don't think anything will change with Royal in power even though "Madame La Presidente Royal" is an awesome title to have. Her policies are a bit weak and please everyone.

These tales from the "aggressive muslim" vault vary from "Once I was on the train and all the aggressive muslims came on with blood all over their faces" to "My uncle was working as a mechanic when aggressive muslims came in and stole everything". It's just daily life for Parisians. The euros scoff at our epic "Cronulla Riots" even since that kind of thing happens all the time here.

Voting isn't compuslory in France but still over 80% went to the ballots for the last round. So hold your breath to see who the winner shall be Sunday evening... but keep in mind you'll have to hold it in for an extra ~8 hours because of the time difference. But you can still watch the Big Brother eviction at least.

Is Sarkozy racist scum? Do think Segolene Royal is hot? Add a comment...

Just stumbled on your blog, thanks to the following Google search "Tina Arena Sarkozy". I saw her last night performing at Sarkozy's victory show on Place de la Concorde
I really liked your post on Brussels, very funny And your entries on speaking le français. Great job!
Full disclosure: French guy who voted for Sarkozy here
Sarkozy does not hate Muslims. He has created the Muslim Council, the fist official body granted to Muslims, so that they can voice their opinion to the Nation, just like the Catholic, the Protestant and the Jewish Councils can. And he is defender of affirmative action, unlike Segolene Royal. Not bad for a racist guy (who happens to be a racial mix himself) !
