Heartbeat In My Left Arm

first?

Hello to you all,


Much is said about François Hollande these times. The polls are flattering to him, the Elysee was their preferred candidate and feared. This trend is quite unexpected: Francis has never been a minister, never head of current presidential candidate ever. Moreover, his cartoon did not predisposed to such a possible fate. Today, we discover that every socialist has long been known, having approached the man, Holland is more complex, more intelligent, more ambitious than its image.

Above all, it's a nice guy which was very popular with the grassroots. As Branch Secretary, I once hosted in Saint-Quentin, we visited the end of the neighborhood around Europe Laboratory Pokorny, at a time when there was still a post office. I was impressed with his easy touch, very comfortable, both in respect of militants and bystanders anonymous. In political meetings, Francois Hollande is an excellent speaker, much better than Martine Aubry.

Another advantage: he is fluent culture device, demonstrated great skill, which is still useful when looking for support from this unit. Elected officials and notables of the party are easily recognized in him, he reassures them because he speaks their language, adopt their behavior and takes into account their interests. In addition, DSK is an adventurer uncertain, a socialist atypical personality unmanageable (that is to say free), in short everything that hates the camera.

In the '80s, François Hollande insider an original experience, that of "Transcurrent" not trivial in that time. It was the first to criticize the system of currents within the PS, This is not nothing. As a result, he sketched a political not far from the social democracy, while differing from the "second left" by Michel Rocard. In recent months, I found that Francis has returned this time, leading all the intellectual work that led to today proposals very relevant, in the wake of the "modern socialism" Bertrand Delanoe.

So why not candidate of his party? Why not, indeed. But I remain faithful to DSK, for consistency, continuity and spirit of a principle home intangible: in politics, when there is a choice to do, take the best, whatever the cost, nothing being more expensive to pay for that defeat. Holland is very good but Strauss is best . And then, I have some blame him: ten years as head of the Party, is the inertia that has prevailed under this culture device that grows to do nothing, let them come events, surfing the wave, within a logic of conservation and transformation of non-Party. It was launched by Michel Rocard in the 90s, Francois Hollande has stopped dead in the year 2000. I remember the meetings of the majority Paris: he did not like him to counter the minority, NPS and New World. But skill does not scale : take the reins is one thing, go at a gallop is another.

The worst has been his conduct in 2005: leaving Mélenchon and left wing activists flout the vote on the European Constitutional Treaty, organize themselves into factions and argue against the decisions of the Party, contributing to its defeat in the referendum was not a serious political mistake. We saw the following: Mélenchon bag and baggage from a few years later and continue outside the guerrillas started indoors. There is no worse mistake than not to enforce majority rule, which is that our Party and democracy. Certainly, time has passed, but the memory does not.

If, unfortunately for the left, DSK does not appear, however, should think of him, Francois Hollande. In any case, the question arises seriously, Martine Aubry and choose between them. Many of my comrades-strauss kahniens have a predilection for Martine and reluctance towards Francis, for reasons I just mentioned and which I share. Martine is an excellent leader of the party, but I do not see not beat Sarkozy and become President of the Republic. Above all, there is this ambiguity that it has with the left wing, which makes it today in fact his candidate, though Aubrey is perfectly Social Democrat. For me, there is nothing worse in politics than ambiguity, but others believe the contrary that there is nothing better ... Matter of taste and mentality.


nice day.


PS the title I gave this post is a nullissime humor, but it's Sunday, I'm on vacation and I have the right to relax.
