Bernard pointed out that the meme was spread by the media. The meme that Sarkozy was among the one million least competent people in France for the role of president, was never mentioned. Despite at least half the right thinking so as well.

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...

But I was commenting Royal and the way she was treated, not Sarkozy. I don't see what Sarkozy, his "competence", his rubish-ness, his majority, or the Parliament have to do in all this - besides the fact that you seem to have a very clear and solid opinion on him - which is perfectly your right :)

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?

Given that Cyrille was openly a Modem supporter and not a Royal supporter, your comments are, shall we say, a case of projection?
