Bayrou does sound like the best candidate. One thing is for sure, the right-wing candidate is not an economic liberal (which is what France needs its right-wing to become) but an authoritarian statist like Blair.

That’s really interesting! Bayrou does sound like the best candidate. One thing is for sure, the right-wing candidate is not an economic liberal (which is what France needs its right-wing to become) but an authoritarian statist like Blair. Royal, the left-wing candidate, is just inexperienced and has been making so many mistakes.

Bayrou seems like the obvious choice - though you are right to highlight the conflict of interest between his base being the rural areas and wanting to reform agricultural subsidies.
