The euphoria of his election in May 2012, the 60 election promises he has never kept, the increasing taxes, the ever increasing unemployment figures, all of which culminated in disasterous Socialist Local Election results in March 2014, followed by the upsurge of the Extreme Right in the EU Parliamentary elections, have all completely ended the dreams of President François Hollande.
He was elected with 51,64% of the votes : now his popularity stands at under 20% in the latest Opinion Polls. Even changing the Government after the Local Elections has made no difference. The disaster is complete and there seems to be no way out.
What will happen next ? Can he stop dithering or will he suddenly wave a magic wand and galvanise France with new policies ?
The popular impression is quite to the contrary. There is in-fighting in the Socialist camp, some die-hards are even jumping overboard and many wonder if he can finish the last three years of his Presidential term of office ! Three years ..... is a long, long time !
