Speaking of Delors, I noticed recently that Martine Aubry is now roughly tied with Sarkozy in at least one poll, however I haven't seen any commentary on this here at ET.
How about it? Is there a real chance that in the near future the Socialist Party will make a comeback with Aubry?
Which brings us back to a longstanding debate on ET about the EU institutions and their treaty-imposed increased powers: are they a bad thing because they impose by fiat nd without democratic control neolib policies from the top, or are they a good thing because they create the capacity for EU-wide policies, which could be something else than neolib if we did not have a majority of rightwing or neolib-captured governments pushing for such policies?
