Yet it is gambling on a novel experiment to select its candidate to take on Nicolas Sarkozy in next spring's presidential election. In a two-round primary, on October 9th and 16th, anybody on the electoral register can turn up, pay one euro, sign up to the "values of the left" and vote. Gyms and school halls will be opened for the event. Three live televised debates have been held. Officials hope to draw over 1m voters; some dream of up to 4m. This is a big turnaround. In the past Socialist bigwigs stitched up the candidacy behind closed doors, or limited voting to party members and told regional federations whom to back. This time, under pressure from a new generation keen to break the grip of Socialist barons, the party has agreed to open up the voting. It marks "a new democratic era", says Olivier Ferrand, head of Terra Nova, a left-wing think-tank. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
