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

yep i am i dont no why though. do you follow the American elections?supercman

Everybody in the world does 

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.

Jacques Chirac is a criminal.

we are too busy caring about who is anna nicoles babies daddy and making a mass murderer infamous.Super-Skunk420

Yep, cuz thats what we do. 

[QUOTE="helium_flash"]How are elections determined in France? By popular vote? And i always thought that France had something like a Constitutional Monarchy.Video_Game_King

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

I remember studying this but i've completely forgotten.  I think i'm confused on what a constitutional monarchy is.  What is England's form of government? 

are you following the presidental election in Turkey?(to the TC)sentencedogu

I lived in Ankara for 2 years when i was younger. 

The only thing I know about France is the accents and how you spell it.dEfousEd

No.

I don't follow other presidential/leader elections.

Most Americans do not like the French, so no.Jhonie_Fklits25

 Well, unfortunately, most French people hate America, but your elections are always widely covered by the french medias which are specialized in spitting on Bush !

I dont like french ppl.atha_an_miere

Have you ever met one? If no, then I suggest you shut up and gtfo.

If yes, then please explain why...

I could not have named those candidates from memory.  I guess it's mostly a matter of there only being so many things one can read about given limited time.

Once one is elected though, I will probably know the name of the winner.
