Those who follow french politics might remember "Ségolène Royal". The lady who stood as an opponent against Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007. She lost the presidential elections in 2007. But interestingly, not only the French did not like Sarkozy after a few months yr in office, but also in the next french election the ex -husband of Royal, Francois Hollande became the next president in 2012. Their long term personal relationship ended just after she lost her 2007 presidential race.
Royal seems to lost so much politically that she is not even elected for a seat in parliament. Recent apology from the new partner of French president "Valerie Trierweller, for publicly supporting the rival of Ms Royal in these elections does result in eyebrows to be raised.
These kind of news in politics brings a kind of funny entertainment..."Facetiousness" and also at the same time make us wonder wonder - "Will France ever get a female president";
French politics is so male dominated. It seems Asia is doing well in terms of women development and representation, as compared to Western world.
