If the left is really doing so spectacularly well in the election, I must conclude that apparently the French are not taking note of what is happening in Greece and Spain!
What's your point? Greece had a rightwing government under New Democracy that forged the books and drove the country into the ground and in Spain banks and developers risked too much money on over-inflated real estate and then got hit when the real estate bubble burst. Meanwhile countries like Germany and Sweden that have wayyyy more lavish social programs and wayyy more government spending are doing well.
