The BBC on M. Sarkozy

Tomorrow is the day of the regional elections. Our region is Aquitaine.

Even though central government in France seems pretty firmly placed into the hands of the right-wng (for France) UMP, the Regions are mostly governed by the Socialist Party and the town halls nomally reflect the character of the town itself.

Pessac being a university town we tend to be rather bo-bo (bourgeois bohème) champagne socialists while Bordeaux is right wing because it is straightforwardly bourgeois.

The BBC's take on the regionals can be found here.

I am not sure that French voters link the regional elections with their opinion of M. Sarkozy. In fact he's not supposed to campaign for the regionals (though the papers think that he kind of has been by being more visible than usual...)

We could vote in the regionals if we registered to vote. We probably ought to.
