I watched the entire debate.
Most comments that followed seemed to portray S√©gol√®ne’s royal anger and induce a disadvantage from that. Frankly, should hypocrisy have more merit than sincerity in politics?
I saw Ségolène Royal project the picture of a bigger France, a big government for an integrated society, with the contribution of all French citizens through their real political participation. True, such a project goes over the technical details and might seem vague to many. A President candidate should project a society. Ministers and staff take care of details.

Serlone Royal projected a better France than Sarkozy. She won the debate.
