But it was not a big enough majority to win outright. /ppAubry, the mayor of Lille and architect of France's 35-hour week, came second with 34%. The MEP Benoit Hamon took 22% and was knocked out of the next round./ppTonight's vote is now a face-off between two women who were both educated at Paris's elite graduate schools, who have both served their party for decades and who have both been ministers in leftwing governments. /ppAubry, 58, the daughter of former EU commission head Jacques Delors, held the major post of employment and social affairs minister. Royal, 55, currently head of the western Poitou-Charentes region, held environment, family and schools portfolios. /ppRoyal is broadly on the centre of the party, while Aubry has run a campaign to anchor the party on the left. Royal has an eye on running for the presidency again in 2012, whereas Aubry, who has forged strategic alliances with senior party officials, could step aside to let one of the party's older men - or "elephants" - run in her place. Both have spoken of the need to reform the party./ppThe Socialists' long and drawn-out battle of the egos boils down to a question of arithmetic tonight. It is a test of the "TSS" front (Tout Sauf Segolene - anything but Segolene). Hamon has advised his supporters to switch their vote to Aubry tonight. If they do as they are told, Aubry is on track to win. But Socialist party members do not always follow orders on how to vote. /ppThe mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoeuml; dropped out of the race last week and advised his supporters to vote for Aubry. But even in his fiefdom in northern Paris, Socialist party members largely disobeyed and voted for Royal./ppThe second-round vote closes at 10pm tonight, and the results are expected after midnight. The fractured party will then begin the task of rebuilding itself to provide an opposition to the president, Nicolas Sarkozy./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/france"France/a/li/ul/divdiv class="guRssAdvert"a href="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/click.ng/richmedia=yessite=Newscountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227268944636112112061455599"img src="http://ads.guardian.co.uk/image.ng/richmedia=yessite=Newscountry=(none)spacedesc=rsssystem=rsstransactionID=1227268944636112112061455599" border="0" //a/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a
