	French presidential election, 2002 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2002 French presidential election consisted of a first round election on 21 April 2002, and a runoff election between the top two candidates (Jacques Chirac and Jean-Marie Le Pen) on 5 May 2002.
		The first round of election came as a shock to many commentators, almost all of whom had expected the second ballot to be between Jacques Chirac and Lionel Jospin.
		The election brought the two-round voting system into question as well as raising many concerns about apathy and the way in which the left had become so divided.

		French voters turned down the proposed document by a wide margin, which was interpreted by some as a rebuke to Chirac and his government.

	Far-right leader Le Pen wins spot in French poll - theage.com.au
		It was the first time a far-right candidate has won through to the second round of a French presidential vote, marking a humiliating defeat for Jospin, once considered the front-runner in the poll.
		Chirac, who is now almost assured a new five-year term because of the vast majority of French men and women who will vote to keep out Le Pen, called for national unity in the face of the far-right breakthrough which he said was a threat to French democratic values.
		Le Pen pushed his share of the presidential vote up from 0.74 per cent in 1974 to 15 per cent in 1995, but he has always been shunned by the political establishment for harbouring what they said were racist and extremist views.

	President of France
		Unlike many other European presidents, the office of the French President is quite a powerful one, especially in matters of foreign policy.
		Although it is technically the prime minister and his gouvernement that are formally expected to run the country, over the years the French President has amessed a great deal of influence, both formally and due to constitutional convention which have made the office the nation's most powerful.
		However, since the French National Assembly has the power to dismiss the Prime Minister's gouvernement, the president is forced to name a prime minister that is agreeable to the majority of this assembly; this leads to political cohabitation.

	President of the French Republic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		There is a tradition of so-called "presidential amnesties", which are something of a misnomer: after the election of a president, and of a National Assembly of the same party, parliament traditionally votes a law granting amnesty for some petty crimes.
		The difference between an amnesty and a presidential pardon is that the former clears all subsequent effects of the sentencing, as though the crime had not been committed, while pardon simply relieves the sentenced individual from part or all of the remaining of the sentence.
		The method of French presidential elections is run-off voting which ensures the elected President always obtains a majority of the vote.

	Bombshell As Le Pen Wins Spot In French Presidential Final
		But Le Pen consistently argued that his support was underestimated in the polls because some of his voters were ashamed to admit it, and that his energetic attacks on immigration and crime had far more of a rapport with the electorate than other candidates wished to admit.
		The campaign was widely criticised for failing to motivate voters, and the abstention rate was estimated at around 28 percent -- the highest ever in the first round of a French presidential election.
		Le Pen pushed his share of the presidential vote up from 0.74 percent in 1974 to 15 percent in 1995, but he has always been shunned by the political establishment for harbouring what they said were racist and extremist views.

	History Now. Printable Page
		The presidential election of 1800 was an angry, dirty, crisis-ridden contest that seemed to threaten the nation's very survival.
		In 1800, it created a tied election in which both candidates were entitled to claim the presidency, and even the backup procedure of deciding the election in the House almost failed; it took six days and thirty-six ballots to break the deadlock.
		The election was ultimately decided by a Federalist who abandoned his political loyalties, putting his loyalty to his home state above all else; James Bayard, the lone representative from Delaware, had an entire state's vote in his power during the deadlock in the House.

		That will be really really interesting, as the EU rather stickily doesn't recognise nations without states, and hasn't recognised the Turkish Republic to be a legitimate state at all, at all, and would have to at least change some of its own internal rules, like "the constitution".
		With British and French help, and a US navy within helicopter shuttle distance but still off the visible horizon - EU citizens (and a few hangers-on) are going to Cyprus from Lebanon.
