Good evening to you all,
In a month to the day, it will be the first round of cantonal elections. Already! And yet they do not talk about them. Our citizens do not seem to know or be interested. At Saint-Quentin, country side, it is very quiet. A little more militant on the market a little more political posters on billboards, but that's all. Mediation, it is only the nomination of Ms. Janssen farce that has detonated. We predicted a long debate on local taxation between Xavier Bertrand and Yves Daudigny, the Minister of Labour mayor of Saint-Quentin and the President of the General Council of the Aisne. But nothing yet.
Yet every election is important, and this one in particular, where one would expect a little more liveliness. The "school map" is getting elected, unions and parents. It raises the fundamental problem of the future of rural . The local government reform calls into question the very existence of the departmental assembly, general counsel since become territorial adviser. That deserves debate. And then, one year of a presidential election where the popularity of Nicolas Sarkozy is down and where a "DSK effect" begins to emerge, a poll should not even local indifferent. The Socialist Party, meanwhile, presented a solid piece for this election (see the national website).
The cantonal elections are toughest and most thankless elections, and the least known: who knows what, what are the powers of its general counsel, if not sometimes his very name is unknown? Is that this election is pure proximity, outgoing and notables, not really political nor militant. A legislature can tip the majority of the country, the fate of a municipal town. But Canton does not change not much. She goes out of its torpor the electorate that if its candidates are celebrities, familiar faces who can leave hope for a victory possible (this is the election where the premium is highest outbound).
At Saint-Quentin, we have an asset, left, a historic opportunity : North Canton, abandoned by its owner is within his grasp. That's the kind of situation, rather rare, where the opposition can win, even when the sociology and history are against him. A victory PS and would be a bolt from the sky right, Xavier Bertrand on disputed lands. A defeat of PS and it would be an additional floor of the house would collapse, depression continuing its ravages, the need to rebuild everything. The result of cantonal, right and left, strongly influences the next municipal elections in three years only. We'll know in a month.
Good evening, and remember
20:00 DSK on France 2 .
