You have to love the French left

Saturday, 5th May 2007

Genius. There's a French analyst on Sky News at the moment offering his unbiased opinion on the French elections. There is, he tells us, a worrying similarity with the first Bush election in 2000:

You know, the same person has been ahead in opinion polls before the first and second round. And the polling firms are private companies. This is very suspicious.
I can't think of another explanation than some kind of fraud or conspiracy to elect Sarkozy. I mean it couldn't possibly be, could it, that more people actually said to the pollsters that they supported Sarkozy than said they supported any of the other candidates?
