Le Pen concedes victory to Chirac

It seems that computer estimates are that in excess of 80% of those who voted cast their vote for Chirac; it is thought that many left-wingers backed Jacques Chirac to avoid any risk of Le Pen doing well. Turnout is thought to be very high.

Great news!

No doubt normal hostilities between the left- and right-wing Parties will resume for the Parliamentary elections in France next month.
