Normally, I am not all that interested in politics in France or much of Europe (yeah I'm the typical uninformed American). That said this fight that Sarkozy is fighting is very interesting to me.
I am an unabashed capitalist. I believe that the free markets for the most part are better than government at almost everything. So to me it is an education on Socialism's effects to look at France. Now, Sarkozy is attempting to fight many of the problems with Socialism with the cure - Capitalism. It appears that the Socialists are going to attempt to fight back.
I was just reading an article on the BBC website that is discussing the current state of affairs and it seems like the first real battle is going to be hard fought.
I really hope that Sarkozy is successful but I think that he is in for a long fight and will probably get a few bruises.
