He cut the ground out from under them, right before the Legislative Elections. His party UMP, with some pro-UMP members of UDF are expected to win by a large majority.
From early polling, some Centrists, and some Socialists are willing to give him a chance.
Hullooooo, Eurabia! It’s started!
Nicolas Sarkozy has run his first few days in office as flawlessly as he ran his campaign
No empty campaign promises, appointing the most competent people, getting right down to work on the important dossiers.
It was inevitable, IMHO, that only the "right-wing" Sarkozy would appoint a woman of North African ancestry to a high Cabinet position. The Socialists, just like the Dimocrats are "NATO" - No Action, Talk Only.
I”m glad to hear the polls now appear favorable for UMP. I hope he manages to get sufficient legislative support to enact his agenda quickly.
I wonder if Obama would appoint a Muslim woman to a spot in his administration. Obama likes to speak out for Muslim male detainees, not Muslim women.
