Sarko has brilliantly positioned his party for a massive win on Sunday.
By understanding that winning is only the first step, his inclusion of the moderate Center, and the popular Socialist Bernard Kouchner who was, BTW, one of the very few to support the invasion of Iraq and the removal of Saddam, Sarko has further marginalized the Socialist Party, already in total disarray.
Sarko is a brilliant and gifted politician. There are many lessons to be learned here.
don’t follow french domestic politics much, but the ‘youth riots’ last year must have been a huge factor in this outcome.
...his rightwing party... his rightwing UMP party...
