A French politician I like
Tory Diary has a profile of French Interior Minister (and President candidate) Nicolas Sarkozy. Not a typical French politician:
He says he believes in:
First, the primacy of work…
Second, the need to compensate personal merit and effort…
Third, respect for the rules, and for authority…
Fourth, the belief that democracy does not mean weakness;
Fifth, values;
Sixth, . . . I’m persuaded that, before sharing, you have to create wealth. I don’t like egalitarianism.”
He almost seems likable!
