French election: François Hollande favourite as voters go to the polls

6. And he lost. Sorry I missed this earlier. Also in Greece the people voted against the

'Austerityites'. From what I'm reading, while this is a beginning of a challenge to Neo-Liberalism, it may not translate into huge changes immediately.

Many analysts are saying though, that the Greek results are far more important than the French results. Still, it is two messages to the Austerity gang that when the people get a chance to speak, they do not like what they have done to their countries economies, and most of all, I think, their sovereignty.

I hope Hollande has the guts to be a real agent of change, not just a talker or a symbol of the rejection of the Sarkozy government, with not much change at all.

Anyhow, for now, so glad to see the Merkel/Sarkozy partnership broken up. And hoping against hope that Hollande doesn't just take Sarkozy's place in that disastrous relationship. Also hope she is getting nervous along with all the other 'technocrats' who have been so loyal to the banksters.
