It's really just a belts and braces measure just in case marine Le Pen is elected and to cover any shenanigans from the EU.

However, best of luck to you and I can only hope that you may think that your two (?) votes may count into the great mix of the French system that is democracy - as much as it counts in the UK! I mean this most sincerely.

LD wore a look of almost contemptuous disbelief on his face throughout. Someone needs to remind him that he's <i>just</i> a newsreader - not judge and jury all rolled into one.<br />Juppé has some 'previous' (as they say in the Met) and no doubt his character would have been dissected minutely on national TV. Who needs that? I think it saved his bacon. A smart move by the Republicans.Pipéradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335267015454274676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792654918474025710.post-73189549322206736682017-03-08T09:47:35.686+01:002017-03-08T09:47:35.686+01:00You can understand why Juppe has decided not to ru...You can understand why Juppe has decided not to run, even with a clear history, who in their right mind would put themselves and their family through such extreme investigation.

A couple of minutes later, it was announced that Le Canard Enchaine that Fillon had received a 50,000€ loan from a businessman..<br />http://www.lepoint.fr/politique/francois-fillon-la-derniere-revelation-du-canard-enchaine-07-03-2017-2110018_20.php<br /> Pipéradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10335267015454274676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792654918474025710.post-71731278236640759712017-03-07T18:47:34.792+01:002017-03-07T18:47:34.792+01:00I like the look of the Fillon logo and of the thre...I like the look of the Fillon logo and of the three prefer it on a tee shirt. But it's probably got more to do with it being a stylized "F" in blue white and red that is the same as our surname and France.<br />Hamon has not got into merchandizing....yet.
