The French Election: Part III

    With the French election headed to a runoff a week from Sunday, the key question is whom the centrist, “third way” candidate who finished third, Francois Bayrou, might endorse. For the first few days after the initial election, he seemed inclined to go his own way but as the Independent of the UK indicates this morning, he may be moving towards the socialist candidate, Segolene Royal, if only out of antipathy to Nikolas Sarkozy.
