France Faces Polarization Risk in Elections
The France elections may polarize the electorate with 6 percent anti-communist and a larger pro-Western bloc, while 21 percent are hard core Communist. Pompidou leads 44 percent, Poher 23 percent, but a Poher bid could fracture anti-Communist votes and empower disciplined Communists seeking to fragment the opposition amid union-driven strikes. Poher’s campaign signals a minority-party appeal and a possible return to splinter politics.
