If you hate Sarkozy, why do you support the Party of Sarkozy?

It still makes no sense that you would support the personal party of a person you hate. And you apparently haven't heard of Alternative liberale or whatever they call themselves now.

I didn't know they still existed.

Yeah, they do, though they've been divided and AL is run like a fascist party.

La Sinistra arcobaleno doesn't exist anymore. It has split up again between a new Communist alliance with the PRC and the PdCI and a new left-type alliance with the uber-hippy Greenies and some socialists.

Apart from the fact that they're not a real party, you're not a European centrist.

His endorsement of NC isn't disturbing, he's always had disturbing choices in some places, but his endorsement of NC is more laughable since it's so wrong.


wha?

Since we seem to be doing other countries;

South Africa: DA
India: Most probably INC
Poland: Probably PO, though I hate them all, though PO is preferable to PiS. If not them, then that small 'liberal' party Dem.pl or something.
Chile: PRSD or PS, though I might be tempted to vote for Piñera in December.
Brazil: Either PMDB, PSDB or Greens. I might have voted for Lula in 2005, but would vote for Serra in 2010
Denmark: Radical Left/Social Liberal
Norway: Liberals
Netherlands: D66
Mexico: Realistically, probably PAN. The Greens are crooks, the PANAL is also a bunch of shady figures and I think the PSD lost registration.

US: Democrats as the least-worst and the non-insane option (most of the time)
UK: dislike all 3 major national parties, probably like Labour most. SNP, PC and SDLP obviously outside England, though.
France: hate all major parties, probably dislike the Greens least.
Germany: Greenies only
Italy: PD or IDV. Basically, anything which isn't insane and anti-Berlusconi
Spain: PSOE. I'm far from a fan, but given the alternative, yeah. Fairly obviously, I support the PNV and BNG in their respective regions.
Catalunya: CiU
Israel: Kadima is probably the least worst of the major parties, and Meretz is probably the better of all the parties
South Korea: they're all awful, but the Democrats over the GNP
Japan: now, the non-Ozawa DPJ, but if Ozawa wins leadership, probably the JCP given that all others are awful
Canada: dislike 'em all to some extent, but Liberal if only to kick Harper out
Australia: Greens with preferences flowing to Labor
South Africa: DA
India: do parties actually matter much? While I probably wouldn't touch any of the parties in the BJP coalition, a lot would depend on the candidates. I suppose I have more sympathy with the INC/UPA than the right.
Poland: Napieralski-led SLD is good, though all parties are bad to awful
Chile: coalitions do matter more than actual parties, and I'm personally open to both coalitions. in terms of parties, likely the PRSD
Brazil: people still don't understand that all but like 3-4 of the serious parties are not jokes or fakes, no?. I like parts of both major 'coalitions' and equally dislike parts of these same coalitions, but I'd vote for Marina.
Denmark: Radikal Venstre
Netherlands: D66 or GroenLinks
Mexico: PAN is still the least bad, though they're all bad

Nope. The party is nothing more than a personalist clan based around the Dear Leader, his friend(s) and neighbors. No ideology (except whining and attention-whoring) to speak of, no political strategy (that would require admitting that Dear Leader is wrong!) to speak of and a complete lack of direction (the little direction it had in 2008 has been 'usurped' by the Greenies). For you, probably like me, hating all parties but disliking the Greenies least.

and, yeah, Scandinavia is important and I don't know why I didn't do it:
Sweden: Center Party
Finland: Greens
Norway: Venstre/Liberals, which is probably one of the only parties in the world with which I have real affinity.
Iceland: Progressive Party or Left-Greens

When will people understand that the MoDem is not a party but a fledgling friends-and-neighbors coalition built around a demagogic whiny attention-whore who doesn't care one bit about ideology?

answer: when Wikipedia's articles are half-decent.

Not caring about ideology isn't necessarily bad. Doesn't mean the post is wrong.

Probably not, but it isn't a justification for supporting the MoDem which is, I repeat, nothing more than an demagogic egomaniac's personal machine.

Good to know you've been keeping up with French politics since, uh, 2002.
