She would be France's first female president
During an interview with the French weekly Paris Match, Royal hinted that she might consider running for the coming presidential elections, provoking three kinds of reaction. Her announcement went unnoticed or ignored within the ruling conservative camp. It was disregarded and often mocked by most major figures of Royal’s own party. They were confident that her ambitions were the least threatening of all their party’s contenders for the position of official candidate.
Indeed, Royal does not benefit from a support network within the party, unlike all other prominent contenders, whose clout and influence have them often referred to as “the elephants” of the socialist party.
Some of Royal’s fellow party members went so far as to venture into some sexist reactions. Notably the former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius publicly wondered who in the Hollande - Royal family would look after their four children, and the former Minister for Culture Jack Lang said the presidential elections were not a “beauty contest.”
The third reaction, that of the public’s opinion, is reflected in the opinion polls that were conducted and published since Segolene Royal’s announcement. All of them show that Royal is the most favored left-wing candidate and that her popularity is gaining momentum. A recent poll gave her a four-point lead against Nicolas Sarkozy, the major contender of the conservative camp, in the second round of the presidential elections.

Good luck to her, she seems like she has some balls unlike your past leaders. I hope she will realise what France's real place in the world is and wind it's neck in a little.
Would also be nice to see her have better relations with Britain, after all britain lost its empire saving you french from the germans....TWICE!

No. i do not locate it in any respect ! There are some, ( myself protected ), who've serious concerns regarding our modern-day political administration and the Bush administration commonly. yet your premise is fallacious. My love of the rustic and the Republic stops short of the band of authentic believers that siezed potential in 2000 and its president. i am going to look after the Republic and the structure adverse to the Bush administration and its enablers/supporters. fortunately the GOP bulldozer is operating out of gas. The conservative/evangelical/Republican circulation is faltering and that i take convenience in this.

She just looks like another mad socialist - is she playing the positive discrimination card ? I thought her partner was another Presidential candidate for another party - are they trying to fix the election ?

Most of us have so much contempt for France that we don't care.
