Yes she looks hot, but she is espousing “Law and Order” type conservative politics, and is only nominally left leaning

Thanks, I’ll check it out. You do know that to the Trots of the Fourth International at world socialist website everything looks rightist…...
but you remind me that I haven’t checked them out in a while.

‘Unpredictable’  is the word .

konformer—thanks for the article. Reminded me of some stuff that I hadn’t concentrated enough on.

Fabius, and particularly DSK and Royal,  are all too far to the Right for me; and I am NOT “far-left” at all.  We all live in mixed economies.

Should any french-speakers turn up here, an interesting speech by Bayrou at Evreux a coupla weeks ago.

Bayrou

I particularly appreciated his view on immigration, which was to understand that Life in much of Africa is such hell that people will die to get somewhere better, ( as many hundreds do every year ) and the real solution is to pull fingers out and help that Continent.

First step is to roll back the ‘Free trade’ and ‘market-opening’ and ‘privatising’  Juggernaut of the WTO . Europe was rebuilt after 1945 with the Marshall Plan, and behind tariff barriers.

Protectionism is a dirty word !

REAL solution is to end all foreign aid and get the cannibal govts a la Mugabe off the backs of their people. Total Laissez-faire capitalism is the only hope for Africa and everyplace else.
