Small comparison limited to regional list heads i

This time, it is done or nearly. Three months of the March elections, the political headquarters have designated their Decliners in the 22 regions of metropolitan France or are, like Europe ecology process of finalizing them. Between parity, the promotion of the diversity, the necessary renewal and the obligation to give way to school leavers, the case turned often to the puzzle. With, in the end, results mixed. Small comparison limited to regional list heads, i.e. to the local candidates to the Presidency of the Executive.

Parity: the PS trolling. The Act imposes since 2003, a strict alternation between men and women on the lists for the regional elections. The low number of women propulsées Decliners in the regions shows the path to browse equity. Having decided to press its 20 Presidents, the PS is particularly behind with only two women: Ségolène Royal, in Poitou-Charentes, and Marie - Guite Dufay, Franche-Comté (which took the head of the region to the death of Raymond Forni in 2008). The majority done better with six women on 22 heads of list is four more than in 2004. The Modem will be "6 or 7 women", including Danielle Jeanne, in Haute-Normandie, and Cécile Gallien, in Auvergne. The FN presents seven. Europe ecology says only "have failed" parity, with "5 firm women and 2 other possible". And promises, as the centrist party parity on the departmental heads of list.

Diversity: the big empty. If parity is trolling, diversity is still a wish pile. As the national Front, neither PS nor the UMP display the lesser candidate said "diversity" to run for President of a region of metropolitan France. Anxious not to give too retrograde image, the Socialist party highlights visible minorities in its departmental lists (Abdelhak Kachouri in Seine-Saint-Denis, Ali Soumaré in Val-, etc.). For the majority, it grows Rama Yade, number two in the Hauts-de-Seine, and promises of "applicants from eligible position, even if defeat diversity."Europe ecology is not better. The Modem, he can boast distance far competitors, with two from list heads of diversity: the former Minister for equal opportunities Azouz Begag, Rhône-Alpes, and Alain Dolium in Ile-de-France.

Renewal: the bet of the Modem. All its Presidents of region is representative, the PS is, again, not at the party. The majority, it is doing not so evil. Only three heads of UMP list in the 2004 regional again running the Presidency of the region: Xavier Darcos in Aquitaine, Raymond Archer in the Limousin and Camille de Rocca - Serra in Corsica. To which is added Valérie Létard in Calais, in the meantime passed to the UDF in the new Centre. For evidence, its candidates are on average 54 years old (youngest being Christophe Béchu, 35, in the Pays de la Loire), against 63 for the PS. But they are only four (Raymond Archer, Caroline Cayeux in Picardy, Bernadette Malgorn in Brittany and Ange Santini, who chairs the Executive Council of Corsica) would not already be the Government, the Assembly, the Senate or the European Parliament. The most profound renewal, to pick up on the side of Europe ecology and more from the Modem. Environmentalists have pedagogue Philippe Meirieu in Rhône-Alpes, the magistrate Laurence Vichnievsky Paca and the naturalist Christian Bouchardy in Auvergne. Centrist Decliners include a Professor of Economics, Pascal Monier, in Poitou-Charentes, the former editor-in-Chief of Europe 1 Claude Bellei in Lorraine, Ile-de-France, the business manager Alain Dolium, which is the baptism of the electoral fire.

Personalities: a ministerial casting. The UMP is not less than eight members of the Government at the top of regional lists: Dominique Bussereau, Xavier Darcos, Alain Joyandet, Bruno Le Maire, Valérie Létard, Alain Marleix, Hervé Novelli and Valérie Pécresse. Are also nine deputies or senators, among which Jean-Luc Warsmann, the President of the commission of the laws of the Assembly, champagne-Ardenne, and François Sauvadet, the leader of the new Centre members, in Burgundy. With eight former Ministers, the PS is not too badly positioned not more. But, according to a survey of LH2, Ségolène Royal and Georges Frèche (in Languedoc-Roussillon) are the only two Presidents of region clearly identified by their citizens, far ahead of Martin Malvy (Midi-Pyrénées) and Michel Vauzelle (Paca). More modest, the Modem simply Azouz Begag and the MP Jean Lassalle (in France). The FN presents the Le Pen PACA family (Jean-Marie) and Calais (Navy). Not to mention Marion, the granddaughter of the extreme-right leader, in the second position in the Yvelines. As Europe ecology, it essentially established Cécile Duflot, National Secretary of the Greens, dreaming that it can delight the Ile-de-France in the Socialist Jean-Paul Huchon.
