Well, we can see which way Mr Heffer thinks it should go.

Meanwhile the students were not impressed with Madame Royal's performance in the debate. Some described her as bête, which is pretty strong in that context and for them.
Mr Heffer draws an interesting comparison between the Thatcher revolution and the possibilities of some Sarkozy years. Madame Royal foresees violent confrontations in the streets if Sarkozy is elected. (It's a fair bet. There are violent confrontations from time to time now.)
Mrs Thatcher's government made the British riot. Remember the Poll Tax?
Meanwhile the BBC is less decided, but sums up the situation.

We'll see.
Meanwhile we are urged:
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. (Rom 13) and
I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim 2)
It was so much easier under Caesar. Not! But, there were no elections, anyway...
Perhaps you could pray that the new president(e) will enable Christians to live those peaceful and quiet, godly and holy lives with the goal that more and more French people come to faith.
