If he can find the time to give us his views on the next rounds of elections, it would be much appreciated. Would just like to say how much I have enjoyed Tim’s stimulating and insightful postings.

France is a democracy, the people have just spoken, and the Paris mob have no veto power. About those rioters: This isn’t 1789, 1830, 1848 or 1871.

Espero que sim. Tim King, cujos comentários acompanhei durante meses, fala de esperança. Fá-lo, porque os franceses se deparam hoje com uma incógnita: O que vai acontecer com Sarkozy no poder? Estamos no início de uma nova era, com as convulsões sociais inerentes a qualquer tentativa de mudança, ou ficará tudo na mesma? Em momentos de crise a incógnita é bem melhor que a certeza. Dito de outra forma: A capacidade de aceitar o desconhecido é a maior prova de que ainda se está vivo. Acho ser isto o que se chama de esperança. A França ainda mexe e os povos europeus esperam por ela. [...] […] Quem ontem acompanhou a noite eleitoral através da televisão francesa, sentiu o desejo de mudança que terá contagiado a França.

Kudos also for his fair play, for he always tried to convey to us the best of each candidate, without hiding the less positive aspects... It was particularly interesting for a Frenchman like me to follow the campaign as reflected in this blog by an English person like him, a real connoisseur of "la France profonde".
