You say you want a revolution

According to a poll reported by the wretched BFM French news service this morning, nearly twenty percent of French people think Olivier Besancenot, the postman head of the new anti-capitalist party in France, is the person best placed to counter Sarko and his band of sorry arsed neolib wannabes.

You can be a purist about this and sneer at the new party, but at least the petit bourgeois revolutionary is actually trying to be revolutionary.
