French politics

Another point this week struck me, this time in France.

Socialists are becoming crazy...the debate in France about the European Constitution (basically : for or against?) is leading to a divide of the Socialist Party. Even if this debate is also mixed with conflicts between politicians (who is the leader?), this fact is also true for the main right-wing party called UMP. As a matter of fact, the European debate is dividing the French political parties in two sides radically different...I don't know if they will be able to face these divisions : maybe it will just lead to the creation of new parties? I really don't know...the problem is that this confusion within the political world is all the more confusing for French people as the European debate is itself very complex.
