Personally, if I had been French I should have voted for Melenchon (“without illusions”, as they say). His campaign clearly showed there is substantial body of voters who want a more radical solution to the situation than the mainstream parties offer, even if at the moment no political force offers them a clear perspective. I was in Paris the week of the first round and was impressed by the visible support for Melenchon – posters, leaflets etc. He clearly had a real body of active supporters, even if most of them probably came from the PCF.
