I WISH WE COULD HAVE AN ELECTION LIKE THAT
Hankmeister, sorry to disappoint you but Nicolas Sarkozy and Jacques Chirac come from the very same political party, which is generally considered center-right, not socialist.
Sarkozy was a maverick inside the party and he spent years of purgatory after supporting a dissident from the party in the 1995 presidential election while he had previously been one of Chirac's favorite henchmen.
There's a strong debate going on this point but it looks like Sarkozy wasn't in favor of France supporting the US intervention on Iraq. However, he qualified the way Chirac addressed the situation as arrogant, as it cut the country many bridges with the US without having any impact on the actual plans.
