Ugh.

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.

Or leftwingers care more 'bout international politics.

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.

I know, once I'm not depending on media to get information from France. But this is not how the local press presented her in 2007 (and TV5 also did It, to some extent) so you gotta figure how people perceives her out of France, not how she really is.

Bayrou. Hollande is bland, and Sarkozy is too much of an opportunist.

So you choose the bland opportunist. Makes sense.

Is there any centrist french politician who doesn't fit that description?

and maybe they are also more beautiful, more clever, more gentle, more loyal


or not ^^

Maybe more gentle. Sometimes. Definitely not more loyal. Neither more clever. But take a surfing on Die Linke female ranks... I've never noticed any right, center or center left outfit with that appeal, on average. Add some Danish, Brazilian and Chilean, you'll know why I always loved going to UNE's congresses. Just piss them off with some bourgeois talking and they get really wild.
