French presidential campaign is no less pathetic and hilarious than any other's democratic country on this planet. Generally speaking, of course.

Oh course. That's why I said it was utopia. Taking all homeless of the streets and offering them normal health care would require enormous tax-paying power. To promise it is populism at it's finest, but then again... it IS something France (and EU as a whole) should be striving for (the goal is unreachable but we can get within reasonable margin of it eventually).
