50 % of population is not corsican but mainly french and non european migrants, so I would like to see the percentage of real corsicans who voted for the status. And this project of autonomy wasn't important comparing to Scotland or Wales autonomy for exemple. Furthermore, it will be surprising that the republicans propose - even after attentats - an "important" autonomy, their projects are suicidal but they are not stupid.

I don't think that Sarkozy is so fond of jacobinism. He is a pragmatic politician who thinks like an American, so he would not be basically and ideologically opposed to a federalist/autonomist move.

French politic like american don't care of identity, so if they want a federalism, they will make this with artificial region like the "Grande Ouest", that will include the administrativ region of Brittany with the "Pays de la Loire" (who include a part of Brittany) and may be the lower Normandy.
That's already working for the medias like the TV with "France 3 Ouest" and the press "Ouest France", no identity, just geographical, a bullshit.

Also, you have to admit that there is not such a strong will of authonomy in Brittany, as there is in our overseas colonies or Corsica for instance.

Where did I say this ?
If the majority are not independentist, the majority are not against an autonomy (cultural, economical, environmental, academic, fiscal, etc.). This poll confirm this :
