I'm mainly starting this thread because of the French presidential election but it's a general political thread.
So the circus of the presidential election is really kicking off tonight with the first
debate between the 3 socialist candidates to candidacy.
What are their differences? Well…
Ségolène Royal is a national socialist, a left-wing conservative, she supports traditional and familly values, she's tough on crime, etc.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn is a liberal socialist, he supports an open market economy and a liberal society.
Laurent Fabius is a radical socialist, he's on the very left of the party, he's anti-liberal and shares many ideas with the communist party.
One of those 3 will become the official socialist candidate after a vote held on 16 November.
