In the event of a new victory of the blank vote during a second election, Jean Lassalle proposes that the candidate who came second be elected “since Monsieur or Madame Blanc cannot govern a country”. “He would have virtually no legitimacy,” he acknowledges, “but no less than the one who will be elected in the second round of the current presidential election”.
