True, but by any measure she was not nearly as incompetent as Sarko (whose results as minister were invariably appalling, and who was pushing for policies right out of the George W Bush book, probably the modern yardstick of incompetence). Yet somehow the media was never pointing out things like "this man is a clown". Strange. Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
So it is quite relevant. The media were incredibly biased in that respect, to the point of presenting Sarko's ministry tenures (which werein fact major failures) as strong points, as proof of competence. Again, despite having most of his own camp feeling he was rubbish.
It's well known that today, should the votes be anonymous, Sarko would not even have a majority within the UMP parliementary group.
Let alone in the Assemblée itself... Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
You're a perfect illustration for my ideology diary, if you don't mind: not one sentence without heavy political bias. You seem to breathe contestation - of the media, of elections, of the elected parliament.
In such cases I tend to say: well get ready to spend 9 more years in this dire mood.
But it would be a provocation. What do I care that you're such a leftwing supporter and Royal fan. I don't even care if Sarko gets re-elected (or indeed will be a candidate 4 years from now).
But forget Sarko. Just a question: could you even conceive Mme. Royal might not be that good, do you allow for even a tiny bit of doubt? Or is it more like, we're all little soldiers ready to die for the Chief? Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! (Martin Luther King)
