People in France have turned out in large numbers to show they think it matters who their President is. They have also shown how split the country is, with the frontrunner not managing a third of the vote, and the two top candidates only just getting a little over one half of the vote between them.

There is scepticism about who can deliver, and what they want them to deliver. We know that a majority of the French people are fed up with the EU project, voting against its latest manifestation, the Constitution. We know that many of them hate the Euro, and think the high interest rates and high Euro valuation is doing damage to their economy. They also now know they are choosing between two candidates who both believe in European centralisation!
