Who do you support for the 2012 French presidential election?

The first round has ended and quite predictably the race is now between a right-wing candidate (Nicholas Sarokzy) and a left-wing candidate (Francois Hollande). Here's the scoop on their positions from Wikipedia ( French presidential election, 2012 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ):

François Hollande

François Hollande, the candidate of the Socialist Party, topped the opinion polls throughout the campaign. He emphasised his promise to be a "normal" President, in contrast to Nicolas Sarkozy's sometimes controversial presidential style. He aims to resorb France's national debt by 2017, notably by cancelling tax cuts for the wealthy and tax exemptions introduced by President Sarkozy. Income tax would be raised to 75% for incomes beyond one million euros; the retirement age would be brought back to 60 (with a full pension) for persons who have worked 42 years; 60 000 jobs cut by Nicolas Sarkozy in public education would be recreated. Homosexual couples would have the right to marry and adopt. Residents without European Union passports would be given the right to vote in local elections after five years of legal residency. On housing, he has promised to regulate rises in rent; to use punitive measures to compel towns and cities to apply the 2000 law on solidarity and urban renewal (fr), which mandates the providing of social housing; and to provide public lands for the building of social housing.
Nicolas Sarkozy

Nicolas Sarkozy, the incumbent President and candidate of the Union for a Popular Movement, is aiming for a second and last term in office. He was consistently second in opinion polls throughout the campaign, behind François Hollande. His reforms during his first term included a reform of universities, and of the retirement age; a reform enabling citizens to query the constitutionality of laws; and a reduction in the number of public sector employees. He argued that his reforms had helped steer France through a period of economic crisis. His campaign pledges for his potential second term are described by Le Monde as "anchored on the right". He has promised to reduce legal immigration by 50%; threatened to withdraw France from the Schengen Area unless it were revised to enable stricter border controls; promised to compel beneficiaries of the Revenu de solidarité active to accept certain jobs, in exchange for support in finding them; and opposed Hollande's proposals in favour of gay marriage and voting rights for foreign residents in local elections. He has also promised more frequent referenda, for citizens to be consulted on major issues.

You did not give an third option and who got at least 20% of the vote and it is the National Front lead by Marine Le Pen. They are an far right group where they wish to severely limit immigration as well as other radical ones such as leaving the EU.
