I suggest to remove the "Endorsements" chapter. Rationale :

- off-topic because it doesn't provide any valuable information on Bayrou's background, ideas, achievements, etc. 
- no endorsement listed in pages of opponents (Sarkozy, Royal, Le Pen)
- specifically, "Édouard Fillias" is an unknown person (whereas the 2 others are former ministers). It's Wikisquatting

I also agree that this "Endorsements" chapter is out of place here (it has nothing to do with parent chapter "Bayrou's political career"), and should go instead to: French presidential election, 2007.

Political views "He positions himself as a centrist, although he has historic ties to both the right, which Royal and the left have tried to emphasize." Pardon? Incomplete quote?
