France's right is sure to win legislative elections

As the first round of France's legislative elections is due to be held on Sunday, June 10th, the columnist Luc Caregari considers that "since May 6th, 2007, France is in the hands of a technocratic and centralised power. By acting like a political Kasparov, Sarkozy has placed his adversaries in a check-mate position." The other political parties are no longer able to "endanger the predictable victory of the right in the legislatives. This conclusion seems pre-programmed, because the voters who wanted Sarkozy also know that he needs tools, meaning a majority in the National Assembly, to apply his politics. It's a bit like the control stick you need to buy for your new Play station to work properly. This is also why little Nicolas has been a good boy so far: he wouldn't want a rebellious Assembly to spoil his new toy."
