dashing party hopes for quick unity

Note also how the press unquestioningly accepts language that is favorable to the right's candidates. Unity on the right is a good thing ("hope"), and getting there soon is a good thing ("dashing"). But on the left, somehow, it's not (because someone from the right says so).

Amazing bias.

I agree but for a nuance in the word "dashing", which here means "throwing down" or "ruining", not "hurrying".

the getting these soon refers to "quick unity". The use of "dashing" is clearly disapproving of Villepin, in my view.
