Now, we are already seeing a "dance" taking place within the socialist party which has much more to do with people than ideas. Ségolène Royal announcing her rupture with Francois Hollande as well as her intention to apply for the Socialist Party's direction, Dominique Strauss-Kahn arguing that the relationship between Royal and her former partner Hollande did harm the presidential and parliamentary campaigns, which equals trying to put both of them out of the game, etc, etc..It remains to be seen if those games will be of any interest to the French and socialist voters. Again, you are right, a real, genuine intellectual "aggiornamento" on the Socialist side is the main and alsmost only key to any brighter future for the French socialists.
