Not without some actual contrition from his nibs about what he did wrong, or how he is going to no longer think that smart suited capitalism has all the answers after COVID.

Seems to be 54% to 46% atm. However, often voters don't declare their true intentions in opinion polls if they are actually supporting a controversial party/candidate

I think the EU have been a little too obvious in trying to support Europhile Macron….

The EU enquiry has been going on for a long time. Some of the accusations are years old.
It does seem rather obvious to bring it all into the front burner the week before an election.

That’s scary. She grew up in a nazi household.

That makes me wonder if they fully understand what she stands for apart from her xenophobic policies.

Her economic policies can't be separated from her xenophobia.

 

[spectateur]

You can't separate her economic policies from her xenophobia.

In my opinion social policies and fiscal policies of a political party are two separate issues.
