A call to all ET readers (4.00 / 22)

Please distribute the link to this text widely and post to other blogs. I know it's only facts, and not a narrative, but maybe it will help sway some hesitant voters.

Re: A call to all ET readers (4.00 / 3)

Excellent summary and I think the 'mere' facts (with charts!) offer a far stronger defense of the French system than any rhetorically ehanced narrative. Great work.

Are you going to cross post this at dKos? Would be most interesting if you did.

This was sent to Le Monde and to the Financial Times last week, with no response so far.

And that's nothing compared to what goes on in Malta.

Re: A call to all ET readers (4.00 / 3)

A very brilliant analysis, gentleman. And i'm not certain that it needs a new lede, the title sums it all up quite nicely.

I'll try and post a link at Firedoglake, that some politicos there with interest in the FR election might reframe their perceptions.
