The controversy in the French presidential elections has been caused by a democratic vote and however much we do not like the outcome, we have to accept it.

Jean-Marie Le Pen has more support from the people in France than Lionel Jospin.

Now M Jospin has been eliminated from the next round and quit politics, we can only hope Jacques Chirac wins on May 5 for the stability of Europe.
