Conservative Nicolas Sarkozy and Socialist Segolene Royal received the most votes in a field of 12 candidates that ranged from far left Trotskyite parties to far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen. Turnout was 84 percent, the highest since 1965.

• During campaigning for the first round, the candidates concentrated on addressing France’s problems, which include unrest among North African immigrants and their descendents, who rioted in poor suburban housing projects in 2005.

The incredibly destructive French riots of 2005 were set off when two “youths” fled from police, broke into an electrical station to hide, and then were electrocuted when they touched the wrong thing. This triggered three weeks of intense violence, with thousand of cars burned and many people injured.  And a few days ago, French presidential candidate Segolene Royal visited the memorial, laid a wreath on it, and commiserated with the parents of the two dead criminals.

• Chronically high unemployment and France’s sluggish and uncompetitive economy are also a major concern to voters.

France pays the price for those liberal jobless benefits

• Foreign relations are generally not an issue in French presidential elections despite being among the president’s duties.

I’ll leave that sentence to speak for itself……
