French presidential election, 2002 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (329 words)
This election came as a shock to many commentators, almost all of whom had expected the second ballot to be between Jacques Chirac and Lionel Jospin.
The election brought the two-round voting system into question as well as raising many concerns about apathy and the way in which the left had become so divided.
In the months before the election, the campaign had increasingly focused on questions of law and order, with a particular attention towards crime committed by the youth, especially the youth of foreign origin.
