Sarko 4

Very sensible commentary, as ever, from Paul Wells, too, with a view to next month:

France has one more chance to display cold feet, in next month's legislative elections. The prime minister, who will be a product of that election, has more control over the domestic economy than the president does, and it would not be the first time if the French decide to hand their conservative president a socialist prime minister.

But they had all kinds of chances to stand down from electing Sarkozy and they elected him anyway. It was a bold choice. Recognizing that it was is the first choice toward understanding if they choose to be bold again next month.
