pachapapa Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Whilst sarko was in favour of european union nationals voting in municipal elections as a policy in the year 2005, he has now changed his tune to presumably curry favour with the french voters.Whilst the political opportunism of the poisonous dwarf is no real surprise it is interesting to note that the results of an on line poll run in thursdays web journal 20Minutes concur with the opinion of the dwarf. Well over 60 % of the participants in the poll voted against EU nationals resident in france being allowed to vote.http://www.20minutes.fr/politique/829558-vote-etrangers-finalement-non-tranche-nicolas-sarkozy Etes-vous favorables au droit de vote pour les étrangers aux élections locales?Oui 34 %Non 66 % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I thought this example of Xenophobia was about not letting non-EU foreigners vote in local elections, where those from the EU already have the right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 So where, under PPP's interpretation of the news item, would that leave the many non-French nationals who serve as municipal councillors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
