The people of France showed this attitude when they rejected the idea of a common constitution for the whole of Europe. And they were not that against the US invasion of Iraq. While his opponents revolted against the US aggression, Sarkozy boldly took a different stand.

 

  

 

Nicholas Sarkozy's historic win over Segolene Royal of the Socialist Party illustrated and underscored that France has taken its track towards left. This landmark win of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) registered was not a startling one. The key reasons for its triumph were the dynamic and vibrant stands of Sarkozy and an opposition campaign not in coalesce.

 Segolene Royal was chosen by her party to set a record as the first women President of the country; and it was thwarted primarily due to the grounds that she could not even persuade her own party members. There were rivalries in the boat itself. She did put on display her incapability in orations and debates in the campaigns.

 As a whole the election was a waft to the Communist Party of France. This is not for the initial moment in time. Lionel Jospin, the Socialist contestant, could not even thrive for the second round in the prior presidential election. Yet Jean-Marie Le Pen, the leader of the Far-Right National Front got the break for that.

 The populace of France exemplified this stance when they ‘did cast off’ the scheme of a common constitution for the whole of Europe. And they were not that against the US invasion of Iraq. While his opponents revolted against the US aggression, Sarkozy intrepidly took a diverse plunk. This could be the motivation why George Bush named him as a pal of US when he visited US ahead of the elections.

 Sarkozy was in high spirits when he was tagged with the name “Sarkozy the American”. He further elucidated his stand and ideology by openly disparaging the earth-shattering May 1968 student-worker rebellion in Paris.

 One could be able to witness these metaphors in the future France-US relations and new laws of the land.
