The Bayrou phenomenon in the French electoral campaign

"The fad for Bayrou is another way of evading change, not embracing it", considers John Lichfield, the daily's Paris correspondant. "After the cul-de-sacs of extreme left and extreme right, France is now tempted by the cul-de-sac of the extreme centre. For 24 years, since François Mitterrand gave up socialism in 1983, France has been governed by consensual, muddle-through governments with alternate left-right labels. Ideological 'cleavages' are hardly France's problem. M.Bayrou has one or two mildly sensible ideas, on the national debt and the job-killing burden of social security taxes. He has some antediluvian, corporatist ideas, on agriculture and education. He does not have the power base to deliver the economic and social change that France needs and says that it wants. His UDF party - the rump of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing's anti-Gaullist coalition of the right and centre - is too small, under-funded and disorganised to give him a parliamentary majority in the legislative elections in June."
