A 'Mr Nobody' for President?




Inside Story show

Summary: It's been a year of political upsets - Brexit, the FARC referendum in Colombia, Trump - and now France has joined the trend. Former Prime Minister Fillon was trailing rival Alain Juppe for much of the recent campaign - only to end up winning by a considerable margin. Now he's expected to be up against National Front leader Marine Le Pen in the battle for the presidency next year. Fillon, who's been called Mr Nobody in the past, says he represents change, and compares himself to Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. So where is France headed?
