if all the bayrou supporters really want to stop sarkozy, then they should have no problem plunking their 18% alongside Segolene Royal's 24% (and the other leftist votes) and winning the election. If it's about stopping Sarkozy, all Bayrou has to do is tell his supporters that's what they need to do.

The Bayrou supporters will have a hard time supporting Royal, after their dirty campaign against him. As well, the motivations for Bayrou supporters and Royal supporters are different. For many UDFistes, it's not all about stopping Sarko; he's their second choice. But for Royalistes, Bayrou is clearly superior to Sarko. In not supporting their second choice, they're allowing their second-last choice to win.
I suspect that many UDFistes will be casting abstentions this round, and the rest will split evenly.
