Why don't you ask her/him by what definition of left/right s/he arrives at "strikingly hard left" for French public TV?
In my view, the simple use of such an ideologically-determined expression that bears no relation to fact, is an indicator of ValentinD's political leanings.
Why don't you ask her/him ...
lol
Why should I ask when it is you who wants to find out?
I haven't followed your exchange above but you could ask, "Could you please provide details as to what you consider to be strikingly hard left and why."
Maybe he wants to be provocative? ;)
What is a "tag-team"?
The very intensity you use to react at my statement is an indication of your own political leanings. I had the same warm welcome from the right, when I spoke against Bush, neocons or economic neolibs. For me personally this enough proof I'm quite on the centre, actually. Free at last! Free at last!
