I am politically on the right wing (in the French way), but Sarkozy is no better, honestly - amongst other things, he tried to push his then 19 years old son to become head of the administration managing the business area of La Defense (dealing with several billion of euros). I have no doubt he would have done the same as the PS is doing now would he be in power.
I never said UMP is any better, in fact there is very little difference between both parties, aside from the Kabuki theater during the elections. The french political elite is rotten to the core. I'm left leaning by the way and I used to vote for these douche bags.
