All recent Opinion Polls in France have been very negative in their perception of President Hollande and his chosen Prime Minister, Jean-Marc Ayrault.
Although they are old political "buddies" they do not give the impression that they are working as a team !!! Ayrault runs his team of "ministers" but in the final ressort it is Hollande who decides what must be done !!!
Socialist aims, entrenched in the "60 promises" made by Hollande to become President, have now stagnated in the face of reality; one cannot push through idealistic goals when there is increasing unemployment and no money in the kitty.
Many decisions on the "60 promises" made have now been revised, watered-down, or their implementation has been delayed.
As the Minister for "Industrial Reorganisation", Arnaud Montebourg discovered recently that partial, temporary or total nationalisations are not possible without legislation. He was overruled but not sacked !
One says in France that electors have a short memory. That may very well be true but only for fervant party supporters. Floating voters perhaps have longer memories, but, when the time comes their votes could count double if they change sides !
