(And my I note the lack of coverage of French domestic politics by our diarists recently.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
We've always struggled on european domestic politics. I worry that there's too much attention on UK & US nonsense so sometimes I hold back, but apart from French politics, the rest of europe seems to be be de gondi for Italy and Dodo for everywhere else.
We're a bit thin I grant you. But it's not new. So why are we dying ? keep to the Fen Causeway

Of course, the point remains: How much we are affected and don't admit (or even know.) "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
Many of us suffer from post-natal Obamaism. A great wrong has been partially righted. A lot of psychic energy has been invested. PND is inevitable.
It will take time before the next perceptional cause is identified... You can't be me, I'm taken
A problem about blogging French politics is that all the juicy bits are found in the Canard Enchaîné which doesn't have a website...
