Re: French Socialists: live blogging (none / 1)

Another expert summarizes it as follows:

The socialists are winners because they organised this debate.

Fabius came through as hard left.
DSK came through as a manager.
Royal came through as a simple, pragmatic person.

Another expert says she incarnates a new Left that doesn't want to believe experts, a bit naive, a bit like Rocard, and when she says that she doesn't have an answer to everything she hits home with the average French person.

One said she is basically managing her popularity.

The Royal as president / Strauss-Kahn as competent prime minister option seems increasingly likely (and has been commented upon favorably in the business press, I think even in the FT)

Does Fabius get a ministry, too, if he does not run for President outside the PS?
