Economist underestimates Hollande

http://www.economist.com/node/21553446

The Economist are doing their usual outburst of indignation at the idea that anybody might want to vote for anybody who doesn't sleep with a copy of 'An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations' under their bed.

Still ironic to see that the have gone from labelling him as a 'Mr Normal' who plods on despite his deeply uninspiring nature to the more exciting sobriquet 'The rather dangerous Monsieur Hollande'. If Hollande can win the first round of voting with a split left-wing vote it doesn't bode well for the other governments of Europe that are pursuing 'austerity' measures at all costs. Cameron will undoubtedly be paying attention.
