Ready to vote?
So the French Presidential election is this weekend is it?
Will you all vote? Obviously voting intention or even intention to vote is a very personal thing. However, what interests me in whether or not the French take any interest in their referendums.
In England, people have become more and more apathetic towards elections and politics in general. The only time that people really engage in it is to complain about the government.
The turnout for the UK general election is generally quite low and was below 60 % in 2005. The local government elections fare even worse with about only 30% of people voting.
But what about France?
Juliet, of course as an english representative, you are of course entitled to ask the question ‘Is anything happening this weekend?’

Lots and lots of people voted this time in France as they all remembered what happened last time with Jean-Marie Le Pen!! I think that the fact that the candidates are younger too has probably also helped.
