Hi, I am from France, I wanted to know if you Americans...

are following the actual presidential elections in France?

 Do the americans medias follow the competition now between Ségolène Royal, the leftist candidate, who said she would refuse to shake hands with Georges Bush, and Nicolas Sarkozy, the rightist (do you say this word?) candidate, who precisely, during a recent trip in USA shook hands with your President!

 So do you have any interest in this?

As for myself I put a lot on hope on Nicolas Sarkozy, as for the internal situation as for the international relationships, I consider it really a pity the speciality that Jaques Chirac to make USA and France look like enemies.

the whole world couldn't care less about the american elections, but I'll admit during the last election a couple of tv channels though that people did so thats all hey talked about, turns out no one cared. The elections before that though and all the others no one cared about in the least.

Why should I care about French electons?

I don't have a clue who any of those people are. 

This is a 2 tour vote, the fisrt tour is now over, there are only 2 candidates now for the second tour! And no, there is no more monarchy since the half of nineteenth century !

Did you honestly belive that the americans gives a **** about other countries elections?  They hardly participate in their own lol.

I, on the other hand , follows the election and I really hope that Sakrozy wins.

I don't follow any elections. I'm not a fan of politics.

And I'm not American.

Yet another bash the US from jointed.  Yay for consistency.:roll:

I have heard of the elections...yes.

How are elections determined in France? By popular vote? And i always thought that France had something like a Constitutional Monarchy.helium_flash

Have you not heard of Louis XVI? Marie Antoinette (sp?)? Those two were killed, and so was French nobility.

Some do....some don't.  Same as every other country.  Stereotypes and generalizations get old dude.

Personally, I've never put thought into that. It's always been "how can I fix the long lists of problems in the U.S.,"being a citizen of it. 

Leftist? Rightist? Are those your Democrats and Republicans?

Sorry, I know nothing of France.

I didn't even know there was an election in France until I saw it by chance on the news one morning before school.

I'm sure most Americans don't know or care.

Well, the whole world follows the American elections :D !

quiglythegreat

 Well, Chirac, especially by his strenghtened opposition to Bush concerning Irak has increased a lot the tension between the two countries. And yes, Sarkozy is rightist, but far more than Chirac who was a very moderated (coward actually) person. Sarkozy is qualified as an "atlantist", so in favour of improving relationships with USA.

Il fait assez frais combien diversite la coute dans Gamespot. Merci de se joindre! Actuellement au moment ou les USA ne couvrent pas entierement cette question politique, mais voyant comme comment vous la decrives, je pourrais etre interesse.

I'm a nice guy so I translated it for you.

Tri-Mind

I'll translate for you....posting in a language other than English is against the TOU.:) Particularly when they are not so nice.
