Re: Is Tony Blair fit to run the EU? (4.00 / 5)

I realise that it is not the essence of the diary, but I cannot let pass this particular error:

President Sarkozy's centre-right wing party

There is nothing centre to UMP. It used to be a rightist party, and now is a far right party.

Realistically, the UMP panders to the centre as well, hence for the sake of brevity, I said centre-right wing. And considering that there are members of govt who belong to the left, centre-right cannot be too off the mark.

The centre-left spans a spectrum, too. I am not sure Jack Lang can be counted really left. But you are right that Sarko also panders to the center.
