France yesterday entered a final week of campaigning for the first round of parliamentary elections, with President Nicolas Sarkozy’s right-wing UMP party set to steamroll to victory. After winning the presidency last month, Sarkozy is poised to clinch a huge majority - perhaps even a landslide - that would allow him to push through his programme of ambitious reform in parliament. A poll published yesterday showed the president’s Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) picking up between 420 to 460 seats in the 577-member assembly, up from its current contingent of 359 deputies.
