[Old Greg]

Looks like incumbency is unpopular in Europe. Merkel next?

So it's the beginning of the Hollande days?

Get in !!! Who cares about austerity and government debt. Socialism is the way forward. Come back Gordon Brown, all is forgiven.

The dopey twats in France think it's chique to be socialist.

I expect they'll learn the hard way that people get the leaders they deserve.

[BrilloPad]

Who cares who won? Hollande was anti-austerity, Sarkozy was pro-austerity. They are entirely missing the point. What it needs is a break up of the Euro.

Fooking muppets.

Hopefully there will be another storming of the bastille.

Yes but by 1.5%

Looks like incumbency is unpopular in Europe. Merkel next?

He won by 1.5% due to the fact that the far right either abstained 18% or voted blanc 6%.

Mutti Merkel is still a safe bet.
