Cohn-Bendit has always been media-hungry, that's how he got famous in 1968.

Since he's come back in French politics in the 1990's, he's always been a centrist, caring about the environment and social freedoms but never much about inequalities. It's not amazing to have him push for a Centrist-Green-"Socialist" alliance ; that's the line of Les Verts. Remains the question wether the greens would be the middle of such a coalition, as Cohn-Bendit would like it, or to left wing, as Alain Lipietz, say, would have it. It determines wether that coalition would be essentially blairist in nature, or if it could do some more interesting things.

I think Les Verts will split, some of them joining a "new centre", some a renewed PS and some the far left. In fact, it's already happening...

It would help to know which way the PS-supported Vert in my circonscription (that's Yves Cochet) will be going.

That would impact my decision of voting for him or for the LCR candidate...
