I've always liked Bayrou and the UDF party. First of all they've always supported the reunification of Normandy, which is very important for me locally (i always vote UDF in regional and local elections just for that). UDF is also a pro-European party and that's also very important for me, an autonomous Normandy in a federal Europe is my political ideal and UDF is the closest thing i can find (among major parties) to my ideas.
So yeah, i'll probably vote Bayrou in the first round, and hopefully he'll make it to the second round (though i don't have much hopes for that).
And even if Bayrou doesn't make it, i hope UDF will be able to secure a good percentage in the next National Assembly, i think it would be a good thing to have an important centrist party that forces the main party in power (PS or UMP) to compromise to get majority votes in the Assembly.
As for Ségolène Royal, she's special indeed, her ideas are way too vague for my taste, there are many areas where we still don't really know what she thinks, she's very conservative for a socialist, and her latest "ultra-nationalist" speeches about the flag and anthem have completely annoyed me (some old socialists must have been rolling in their graves).
I so wish the PS had chosen Dominique Strauss-Khan instead of her.
