If UMP/UDI tried to do the same, people would be in the streets protesting and "socialist" politicians would be protesting at the parliament, like when HADOPI was voted. But for some reason when "socialists" do it, it's fine. These crooks that call themself "socialists" are even more dangerous than their "right wing" equivalent. They didn't remove HADOPI by the way, it's still there. Anybody who vote right wing might be an idiot, but anybody who vote "socialist" is a greater dumb fuck.
It sucks for the french economy but many startups or businesses like OVH don't need to stay in France anymore. Because who can believe in the future of this country with these assholes in power?
- bigbugbag 12y agoYou're missing something here, the "socialist party" is and has long been a right wing party, to the left of the further right ump, itself a bit to the left of the far right front national. But the point is that wherever the party falls is irrelevant, political parties have been mostly puppets pushing corporatist agendas for quite a while.
- aikah 12y agoI'm not missing anything, that's why I put "socialists" in quotes. These people aren't "socialists" of course they are a fraud. Frankly I shouldn't even talk about french politics anymore, things are a bit desperate,it's a race to the bottom.But I guess it's happening everywhere. Or it has always been like this and it's just more obvious today, I don't know.
- atmosx 12y agoSocialism is awful in the EU. See what is happening to Greece? It's been cornered by virtually every other state in the EU. And no, it's not about broken state economics, that's fairy tales for little kids, it's mostly about not voting what Brussels/Germany wants. They want to set an example to everyone else. The only reason Greece is still in, it's because no one is sure what's gonna happen once it's ousted. So generally speaking, you either vote for Holande/Sarkozy or you're gonna face the same kind of treatment. And from what I've seen so far, LePen apart, you don't have any other politician is likely to go a head to head with Merkel.
- blumkvist 12y agoThat's the way of lefties. Hypocrisy is their 2nd name.
- mercurial 12y agoIt's not because there is "socialist" in the name that you should think the PS is left-wing.
- blumkvist 12y agoAnd how come this always seems to be the case with any (non-centric) socialist party? In the end, it always ends with scandal or disaster.
- mercurial 12y agoConsidering that the former president and current head of the conservative party is being investigated in at least 8 different cases, the scandal part is clearly more of a "big party" problem.
- kjs3 12y agoThe French socialists are a right-wing party.
