I said the Greens were heteroclit, you can state all the counterexamples you like but the fact is, the standard-bearer for the French Greens is economically speaking of doubtful ideological footing. I'm sorry, but I won't be surprised if she does poorly, the moment next Spring will be for clarity and forcefulness in the face of what will be a deepening crisis. IFOP's got her at 5% at this point, I suspect that is is ceiling on  her popularity, but we'll see.
