Update time

i promise a deep philoshoical post about the result of the french elections, however the french vote twice , the first time with all candiates and the secound time with the top two candiates from first round ( unless a canididate get an overall majority in first round) so i will do two longer and more in depth peices either side of the secound round of voting. In the first round the socailist Royal and the right wing Sarkozy got the most vote ( about 25% and 30% repectivly) with Sarkozy favored to win overall. the other stand out fact is that almost 85% of poeple voted , a huge figure compared to most european nations, inculding the UK.Who said politics was dead
