Electional surprise in France

Oh la la. What an umpleasant surprise¡. Jospin eliminated and Le Pen will be the second candidate for the presidential elections. Only two points difference between candidates. Bad day for democracy. It seems that people were to relaxed and didn´t go to vote. In any case it seems that many French think that there´s a huge problem with emigration. Did the 11th september had any affect with this result?. Racist reaction against French arab community?.
Poor France, people should be quite upset.
