Re: "Presidential" debate (none / 0)

That's a given. But you can also elect a legislature which forces him to look left for a governing majority and leaves the Gaullists to compete with the FN on the right. Who would be the lead candidate for Prime Minister in a EN Marche!/PS coalition Government?

Re: "Presidential" debate (none / 0)

PS would not achieve much if it is not on Hamon's terms - Valls may well be to the right of Juppe. And then the left would be blamed for the failure of right-wing wing policies once again.
If it were Mélenchon, of course, that would be something. But very unlikely.
