Don't forget the French legislative elections, the first round is on Sunday.

The final polls suggest that Hollande's left is going to win a tiny majority over Nicolas Sarkozy's Conservatives, but earlier this week, polls showed the Conservatives ahead.

There are 3 potential outcomes...

(1) The Socialists win a majority. Hollande implements his plans as expected.

(2) The Conservatives win - that would mean that Hollande has to appoint a Conservative PM and his programme will be completely neutered.

(3) The worst case sceanrio, the Socialists fail to win a majority is need the votes of the extreme left Gauche Front to control the National Assembly. This would force him to move to the left and or accept some anti nuclear or environmental stuff.
