plunging the EU into crisis

A war is a crisis. Famine, plague, drought, floods, economic collapse, are crises.

This is not a crisis.

"Many voters wanted to punish Chirac and his conservative government over unemployment that is at a 5-year high of 10.2 percent and other economic problems."
Ha ha ha! I am no Francophobe, but the reality is many Americans continue to boycott France over their lack of cooperation with the war against Iraq, and related collusion with our enemy including profitting from the UN's corrupt oil-for-food boondoggle. Why else would unemployment be so high since the war. They shot themselves in the tourist dollars foot and now they are complaining about it. Har, har, har.

Oh yeah. That's a scary thought isn't it? Course, not NEARLY as scary as what they consider a flaming liberal!

What a group!

Trotsky? Hmmm, no
Lenin? Possibly, but no his writings don't signficantly differ from tripe like "The Universal Rights of Man"
Mao? I doubt it

Actually I don't know that there is anyone in history that could be considered left of the French government.
Well I can think of one beingfurther to the left, someone so convinced of his own superiority he tried to overthrow God Himself.
Could it beeee.... SATAN!! (if you didn't see Dana Carvey as the Church lady, this will make no sense)

I was asking a retorical question.There isn't anyone that I can think of either.Even Satan doesn't fit-he certainly
believes in God at least.

Here's your first hint that France is clueless. Chirac wouldn't just be thrown out of the conservative movement in the US, he'd be thrown under a bus.

Despite the incredible humiliation this loss means for Chirac, don't expect him to own up and leave office.

After all, it is SUMMER in France soon and it's not like his own family won't leave him alone in the house when they leave for vacation...
