    I do believe that Nicolas Sarkozy will beat Ségolène Royal but only by a very slim margin.

    For info, televised debate on 2nd May has been set between the protagonists. Negotiations between key men of the right-wing UMP and left-wing Socialist Party are underway to outline the debate’s ‘rules of engagement’. The runoff election is on 6th May.
