Jokes over. Today, unless some great surprise happens, Nicolas Sarkozy will get elected president of France and a new era will begin...
OK, we said jokes over. No new era, just a follow-up of the current one, which is already bad enough. Nicolas "the great" (according to the Economist) or Nicolas "the fearsome" (according to common sense) will bring few new things to French and European policy, apart from a stronger and more honest-with-no-soft-words-rhetorics. I guess he just means to carry on, what has been going on for the last 15 years, which is right-wing politics prevail against socialists which are actually conservative, company-subsidized fakes.
I think it was Freud who once said that people need two things to be happy: Good sex and choices. Although sometimes I doubt about the second one, I totally agree when it comes to politics. We need choices. And the fact that we do not have them pisses me off.
And looking at the cartoon above just makes me depressed.
