Count me as a vote for Muni '14. As for MLP's poll ratings, the election is only 4 years away. LOL @ Flamby having a 2-1 disapproval in 10 months though.

Cahuzac's secret Swiss bank account isn't so secret now.

According to the article he had the account for 20 years. Yet somehow background checks either didn't catch it or swept it under the rug.

My thought last year was that he'd Zapatero himself: squeezed between his base and Merkel/bond markets, satisfying no one. Still has 4 years to turn it around, granted.

Question to the Frenchmen here: how closely linked are the municipal and regional elections to national politics? If Hollande's still highly unpopular, will the PS get locally massacred?

Well, in France the term would be "Anglo-Saxon ultraliberalism", n'est ce pas? Wink

Cahuzac has resigned as an MNA. By-election incoming soon, I guess.

Some polls: in a hypothetical rematch Sarko leads the first round with 30% and Flamby tied with Le Pen at 22. Another poll has him beating Flamby 53-47 in the runoff with a 27-23-21 first round. Then there's stuff on Panzergirl.

The Gaddafi thing was first reported last year or the year before IIRC, but good that they're getting to the bottom of it. Didn't Libya have Rafales on order shortly before the war began?

PS insulting Merkel in a policy paper, calling her "selfish" and the "chancellor of austerity", saying the EU is now an Anglo-German cabal (Anglo-German ultraliberalism?), etc. LOL Flanby.

As an independent? Such chutzpah though.

The narcissism and delusion sound much worse in French. I can easily imagine the tone.

There's a linguistic battle going on in the universities, specifically allowing more English courses for foreign student purposes.

Guess demographics have changed since Chirac was mayor, but I'm certainly not surprised at Paris trending left.

Which makes me wonder how Le Monde sees someone who lost an AssNat run by 40 points as a "rising star."
