First meaningful thing the government shows willingness to do in 6 months.
OK, this is good news, but I really hope that's not all they have.
Ah well Antonio, it's always easier being in opposition when you can imagine all the good things your side will do when they come in to power. And you had some quite high expectations of what Hollande would do. Not surprising, the right has been in power in France for almost all of your life. Actually having the goverment of your choice for the first time is a sobering experience.
But don't worry, six months of five years is nothing.
Well, it's nothing like the hopes I had for Obama in 2008.
But yeah, if Hollande does nothing to fix France's broken tax system and modernize our outdated institutions, this presidency is shaping up like a complete failure.
