Sarkozy's reforms 'to go ahead'

I have to admit that reading this header the first thing that crossed my mind was “s£$t, he’s divorcing and getting married another model!” because we have to admit the first months of Sarkozy’s presidency was all about divorcing and getting married.

French PM Francois Fillon has said the government will press ahead with President Nicolas Sarkozy's reform plan despite setbacks in local elections. Partial results from Sunday's first round put Mr. Sarkozy's ruling UMP conservative party at 45.5%, with the opposition socialists at 47%. The vote is seen as a test of Mr. Sarkozy's first year in office. His popularity has fallen in recent months. But the socialists' lead is smaller than some analysts have predicted. The decisive second round run-offs are to be held on 16 March, and the outcome - particularly in several large cities - remains finely balanced.

Then I think it is about time for a divorce for the socialists as well!
