Apparently many left supporting voters paid their 2 euros to take part in the centre right primary, simply to vote against Nicholas Sarkozy. The ploy worked spectacularly with the former president only third in the poll and eliminated from the contest. But who did they vote for?
Given that there is likely to be no left candidate in the second round of next year's presidential election, one might think that these voters would rally behind the candidate most likely to represent their views - Alain Juppé. But with Sarkozy putting his weight behind Fillon it will take a major shift to dislodge the most right wing of the candidates.
