Stop. It won't tell you enough. And they're subtly/not-so-subtly supporting Sarko. I'm talking to you, writers at The Diplomacist. Twice I've read articles lacking in nuance. The first time, I restrained myself from commenting. The second time, I just had to intervene. Not that I'm the world's greatest expert on French politics. I'm really, really, really not. I'm a student. I'm learning. But I'd like to think I've learned enough that one can't be an expert on everything. Especially at the ripe old age of college student.
Back to my original point, it takes a long time to get to know a different political system. I know. It's taken me at least four semesters to learn the French one. Two of which were in France. But that's why I don't write about elections in Japan. Even though I lived there, I don't know enough about the situation to educatedly comment on it in written form, in a public forum. And reading just one or two major news sources isn't enough.
I have a really strong penchant for leaving it to the experts. It might be over-developed, but it you've got to admit I have a point though...
