France General Discussion

Sometimes, I wish I were not French... (sigh)

Bretagne libre!

[Antonio the Sixth]

Well, he got the sentence he deserved, and at least it proves that justice can work decently sometimes.

Still, Villepin remains a pityful joke, and he'll get crushed in 2012.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Heard him on 20h of France2, seems he will hint the 'Gaullisme' story telling, with his charisma, in this very mediatic society, in 2 years, hey he could make damages to the right, and further (poor Bayrou, taken between PS primaries and a new hero who wanna save France...). Then on the right we would have a part of Bayrou, Villepin, Sarkozy, and a growing FN...wow! Given that I'd be glad to be rid of Sarkozy's poor clique...good. I already thought that chances for Sarkozy were more and more thin but with this... Héhé, and this the day of Sarkozy's birthday, sometimes things are funny.

Oh, and let's note the wonderful stupidity around new Frêche polemics, an enough possibly non legitimate one that lead to huge reactions (Raffarin on Canal+ was something), that it would be interesting to compare to reactions about Hortefeux's polemic for example, which was an actual one. Anyways, interesting to see that Languedoc Roussillon's PS continue to support him in that climate, hey, if ever he wins the region, which isn't done yet but in that climate he could also attire a part of the far-right, in an already divided PS nationally, would the region dare to break with national direction? To be seen...

Bayrou isn't right-wing.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Bayrou isn't right-wing.

yup, and I always placed it on the left for a while now, but I think that would be presumptuous to say that there is no more center-right in his electorate, well for what is left of his electorate.

The MoDem's electorate seems more friends-and-neighbors than anything else now.

Yup, on an other forum a guy posts a lot of links concerning people that flee MoDem nowadays, or who get in alliances, I don't open his links, not particularly interested in that particular facts personally, but if the trend is effectively confirmed I must say it's not to unplease (let's invent the verb) myself, enough with empty story telling around one man only...

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Appeal toward Villepin...!

wow...audacious.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Two Sarkozy epic fails are more amusing than one !

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Seems they decided to play the 'clock'.

Trying to make lose one more year to Villepin, and to eventually condemn him too. Audacious but who knows could work, a totally free Villepin could make a lot of damages during 2 years.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

He is currently on 'Le Grand Journal'. He begins the electoral campaign nevertheless.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I doubt that. Villepin won't attract anybody except a bunch of old-style gaullist right-wingers (ie 1% of the electorate). And still, most of them already know he has nothing to do with gaullism, neither has real ideological differences with Sarkozy.
Really, Villepin's candidatcy in 2012 would be a non-event.

You underestimate the power of charisma in this society, a power that Villepin is very well able to use.

Do you really find him charismatic ? Yes, he speaks well, but his lyric style is totally out of touch with reality.

Yes, that old school style, with a lot of 'panache', surfing on a fantasy of 'Gaullist spirit', than can make damages I think. But now, with this new trial, we'll see how he deals with it.

I know that this doesn't interest anybody, but Jacques Bompard has ended the confusion and left the MPF.

Happy Birthday Jean Tiberi! 75 years and not one of them in prison. Amazing.

You had marked it your calendar or it makes headline in Britain??

If you think such a thing made headlines abroad, you're living in lala land. Media doesn't care about foreign politics and elections except for typical blabber and dumb news.

You decided to beat Rochambeau?

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

In case I would have to specify it one more time:

It was a way to ask him how this info came to him.

And I must say that I would find funny to live in a lala land in which the birthday of Jean Tiberi would make the headlines in Britain (haha...how could you have taken this seriously??...tired? too much work?)

Also, I must say that it would be a very amusing surprise for me to know that someone in the north of Wales had noted the date of birthday of Jean Tibéri...!

I don't think I'm a spammer.

I was just noting that you're cuckoo if you think that foreign media covers day-to-day politics in France or any other country for that matter. I don't see why you must make such a huge event out of my post and call me a spammer like Rochambeau.

Shh, don't simplify people, Rochambeau is not a spammer only, he is also someone who use to take things literally (well, if ever he passes by here of course he is more than that, but he gave examples lately...), and with your post it seemed to me a beautiful example of it.

So, you actually thought I was asking him if whatever British media would have made an headline on the birthday of Jean Tibéri?

Euh...just...come on...
