If you are curious about the current French Presidential campaign, and especially about the rise of François Bayrou, I reccommend the articles where Demian West describes the story so far with the eyes of a centrist sympathizer. This is of course a biased view, but it paints very well the hopes of a growing number of French voters with rising odds of handing the French politicians the surprise of their carreers.

First round of the elections is on the 22nd of April and I pledge to stop bothering you with politics fo a while after that…
