Forgotten, the young commuter, a key figure of the 2007 campaign. Francois Hollande woos working-class voters in the priority. Good news, according to Quebec journalist.(Le Devoir Montrea)They had virtually disappeared from the landscape since the heyday of the 1970s leftist.But they are back with their hard hats, boots of workers and their big calloused hands.They are on the pictures of the countryside, where they pose with candidates for the French presidential election. All contenders are now lining up at the factory gates, where they compete for the vote of this respectable lady that used to be called the working class. In stark contrast with previous campaigns.

All statistics show that this populist party with xenophobic overtones is one that the electorate has the most popular. And for good reason: it is the only one who chose to systematically courting this population, which, if we add employees, still represents a two voters.
