French Elections 2007
I will resist temptations to comment on the upcoming elections in France. Instead of my biased liberal views I recommend the blog French Élection 2007. Pretty level headed reporting from - as the author claims - "an American perspective". By the way, who is the blogger behind this one? Stupid question! Don't identify yourself or you get fired!
By the way the word "liberal" has become a swearword in France, a country whose voters left and right believe in statism. All of the three main candidates believe or at least make their voters believe that free markets are a plot by the Anglo Saxon world and must be resisted by La Grand Nation. This has become an ideology the common man on the street has readily embraced. Trouble is that even a country like China now marches to a different tune as do the very successful large French multinationals.
