Re: Is Tony Blair fit to run the EU? (4.00 / 5)

I realise that it is not the essence of the diary, but I cannot let pass this particular error:

President Sarkozy's centre-right wing party

There is nothing centre to UMP. It used to be a rightist party, and now is a far right party.

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi

Realistically, the UMP panders to the centre as well, hence for the sake of brevity, I said centre-right wing. And considering that there are members of govt who belong to the left, centre-right cannot be too off the mark.

The centre-left spans a spectrum, too. I am not sure Jack Lang can be counted really left. But you are right that Sarko also panders to the center.
