The French government is heading steadily rightwards - and backwards, if the hopes and fears expressed this week are anything to go by. Some delegates at the MEDEF (employers group) annual meeting thought France needed a dose of Thatcherism whereas at the Parti Socialist annual "université" some feared a "Blairisation" of the government.
Given that both those politicians give rise to very divisive opinions amongst us expats it may be better to stick to home grown leaders - though it is always very useful to have a foreigner to blame for everything that's going wrong (how many French friends have blamed you for the weather?).
