Promised, jury duty, this time the new Centre will go to the end. It is Hervé Morin, the President of this party allied to the UMP which assured him: "Requires that the centrists have a presidential candidate." "2012 is an appointment that should not be missed otherwise it will not present for the future". The Minister of defence, which uses more and more the "I" to talk about this term, plans to develop that connection this Saturday at the national Council of his party in Paris, which will be the regional balance and will launch work on the project of his party for 2012. This promises, what think about Nicolas Sarkozy.
The Defence Minister believes that the last regional "showed that the union" of the right in the first round was "not enough to win" and that his candidacy could be useful to reduce the vote in the second round. He knows that in the VeRépublique, a party which is not represented in the Supreme election is not really of existence. However the Minister think that 2012 will cause a form of "reconstruction" to the right. Very clear if Nicolas Sarkozy is beaten - "The UMP does not survive" - and more diffuse if he does, the succession of the President being open on the day of his re-election. "On a map to play if it is strong enough to attract", is it believe.

Leave the Government
While Hervé Morin prepares and is willing to leave the Government to present: "cannot be Defence Minister and a presidential campaign." After his party had reconstituted a stock of local elected officials-80 regional advisers - through its alliance with the UMP, he moved the small centrist Senator Jean Arthuis training. Jean-Marie Cavada and MP Philippe Vigier must floor "markers" of centrism - Europe, civil liberties, "humanism recast" - and the Minister rode forms key - "a debate society, a recognition society and a society of tolerance".
But almost all rest to. Hervé Morin has been estimated that his family of thought has "electoral potential of 15 to 16 ", his party has not succeeded, in three years, to be identified in the opinion and the niche of the centre looks crowded in 2012. By François Bayrou, although he is struggling to recover from its losses successive by Dominique de Villepin seeking to refocus its image by announcing the creation of a party "free and independent". even by the ex-UDF joined the UMP Jean-Louis Borloo. All three are more known and more popular than Hervé Morin (14 rating for the future in the TNS-Sofres barometer). "The new Centre has no existence in the public and is not able to make personality a plus." "If it is to have an application that takes votes to the UMP candidate, it has no utility," strikes a former of the UDF, the UMP Deputy Alain Gest. The ex-UDF are often the less well prepared for their former comrades. Yesterday Marc - Philippe Daubresse and Pierre Méhaignerie have announced "States General" centrism, before the summer, either at the same time that the Congress of the new Centre.
