Re: Europe Ecologie's center of gravity (none / 0)

If its centre of gravity is in the centre, I suppose you mean half of EE-LV is on the right.

I think Bayrou is right wing, yes. (none / 0)

Centre-right, but right nonetheless.

Also, centre of gravity can simply mean the power center or the cadres, generally-speaking, not the average member, as you are suggesting was my meaning.

No matter, I'll stop commenting on this thread if it is thought I am being offensive.

Re: I think Bayrou is right wing, yes. (none / 0)

Now Bayrou is part of Europe Écologie? I thought we were discussing the position of EE-LV?
