Re: The New European Parliament - ALDE (4.00 / 4)

Good work, nanne, that's a really helpful breakdown.

I don't know if the MoDem is crazy, but François Bayrou is. He has compared his disastrous attack on Cohn-Bendit (rarely have a politician's tactics been so swiftly and thoroughly disallowed by the electorate) to Zidane's headbutt in the World Cup final against Italy. <sigh>

But the MoDem is OK re Europe.

Re: The New European Parliament - ALDE (none / 1)

Bayrou appears to make the comparison to express regret.

Hahaha! (4.00 / 3)

I wonder what Cohn-Bendit said about Bayrou's sister.
