French ideas

The outcome of the first round of France´s local elections calls for a serious refection about the mood among ordinary voters. Many people, in France and other parts of Europe, are just tired of traditional political parties. As they are also tired of the old clichés about left and right. They want jobs, security and responsible, honest politicians. That should be the agenda. But without extremist ideas, xenophobic prejudice and nostalgia for a world that is now past. We live in Europe, in a community of nations, we have to build how future on that fact, not against it.
