Conservatives And Mayor of London Election.

Two headlines are getting so boringly predicatble to me these days: Another bomb blast in Iraq killing ...... then someone turning down an offer to be the Conservative Party candidate for the next Mayor of London election. The issue wouldn`t have being that risible if William Hague didnt go on television last Sunday professing that the Party was not desperate for a suitable candidate for the seat. Not desperate? William please! Throw another one.John Major just said no this week.

Sarkozy vs Royal As Expected

The French elections result threw up no main surprises. In that Nicolas Sarkozy polled the highest number of votes 31.2% and coming in second place,Ms Royal with 25.9% of the total vote.What is quite remarkable is the high turn out of voters.This indicates that despite widespread disillusionment with politics and politicians people still made the effort to partake in the political process.84% of the voting populace took part in the election. This is quite an enviable figure.

So the dye is cast for a showdown between Sarkozy and Royal on May 6. I think Sarkozy is going to be the man in the Ellysee come May.
