| Really? Where'd you find that? Well, they've got the right formula in France, just like they did here. A right-winger, "the all-mighty free market will take care of all" as president for starters. |

It was just a joke, but I wouldn't be surprised!
But I guess European politics is drastically different from US politics. I hear a "conservative" from Europe is like a Bill Clinton. I agree with their definition. US Conservatives think this is a victory for them, but European right-wing nationalists still don't get along with US presidents very much! |
