Both Civic Nationalism and participative public management appeals heavily to the Brazilian Left. But I think Rod is failing to realize Royal is quite nearer to Blair than Hollande. For what I've read from him, this shouldn't be too much appealing.
People actually think Royal supports participative democracy or whatever that bullsh**t idea is called? She runs her region like her personal fiefdom and has shown that she doesn't give a sh**t about her allies. Royal is just a Palin-like populist whose only main difference from Palin is that she's less mentally unstable and slightly more intelligent (but only to a limited extent). Her fans, by and large, are also mentally unstable and of limited intelligence.
