backed hillary at 1.35 to 1.66 and laid off at 1.08 to 1.35, comfortable profit (albeit very small)

Went as low as 1.74, I think, saddo.

By:
It did, very short if the public have had enough and demand change.
|
|
By:
He will represent a change, saddo. He is considered right of centre and pretty conservative. If he wins the run-off next week he could be even shorter.

This Filion guy is considered to be a safe pair of hands but pursues a Thatcherite economic agenda , if he wins the Republican/Conservative 2 way run off next week then he would most likely face Marine Le pen in the Presidential election next year , whilst the Socialist voters who will have no candidate have traditionally voted against Le Pen they may side with her against a conservative, as well as this the Front Nationale have a lot of economic policies which are quite left wing

French ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy has been knocked out of a primary to choose the presidential candidate of the centre-right Republican party.
Admitting defeat, Mr Sarkozy endorsed Francois Fillon, a moderate who finished first in Sunday's first round, according to near-complete results. Alain Juppe, who like Mr Fillon is an ex-prime minister, finished second. They will face each other in a run-off next Sunday. The winner will compete in next year's presidential election. The winner of the Republican primary is likely to make the presidential run-off, where he or she will probably face far-right leader Marine Le Pen. |

You would think that there is still a fair amount of room for Le Pen's price to shorten in the months before the actual Election. Given that it is quite likely to be a shoot-out between her and either Fillon or Juppe, depending on who wins next week's run-off. It remains to be seen if the pro Fillon vote was a vote against Sarcozy, or if Fillon is really has the momentum to beat Juppe. The level of his support in the primaries was pretty significant, though, and he is clear favourite to defeat Juppe.
