Eva Joly for president

Despite being the cradle of feminism, the state of France have never ever been run by a female president.

Though one could argue former emperror Napoleon I being quite beyond feminine, at least during his official photo shoots. (painting: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres)

Now those days are long gone and the desire for a change is on a rise, hence Nicolas Sarkozy will be heading for some serious competition as Mrs Eva Joly is expected to run up against him for presidency, election 2012.

Will Joly be their saviour? 

Considering her resume, quoting Reuters on this “Last year Joly, who moved to France as a teenager to work as an au pair, was employed by Iceland to help investigate white-collar crime which led to the collapse of the island country’s financial system in the fall of 2008.”

Brave, strong and spectacular, facing all problems head on. (photo: Espen Løkeland-Stai)

Only time and tabloids will tell.

After all, the mythological year of 2012 might not be the end of the world, but perhaps the start of a new era, a brand new french revolution lead by our very own Eva Joly.

You go girl!
