Re: Jospin Pulls Out (again) (none / 0)

The Jospin Attitude - hard work, policy, realism, straight speaking, no kow-towing to media and communications plans - isn't an idiosyncracy, it's widespread on the left (and I personally have great sympathy for it, except it doesn't work).

This is worthy of a diary all by itself.

Yes. There's definitely a contrast in this election run-up, between the Jospin Attitude and the Royal Style, that is of much broader interest for politics and more, in a media- and perception-driven world.

I'll try to find time to expand on it in a diary.

I think it is in this sense that Royal, Schroeder and Blair represent a "new Socialism".

We are all monarchists now.
