"What non-leftist parties are available to voters?"
UMP (classic right side), UDF (centrist) and FN or MNR for "extrem-right". But UMP have a lot of division like MPF of De Villier (souverainist) and others but too small.
" Are there any parties that promote less government and more entrepreneurship?"
No. No real 'liberal' party.
Remember : Liberalism = Devil in France. That's a marxist country with socialist economy.
Is there any hope of introducing some liberalism in France?
France does have the ability to have a more dynamic economy, but it is hobbled by the tentacles of socialism.
It's a question of balance.
"Is that because socialism has become ingrained in the populace"
It is. Socialism is a good economy because state could adjust things who are not "social". On theory of course. That's what they think and what medias repeat day after day.
When there's is a delocalisation, it's not fault of policians but to the "patron", the chief of entreprise.
Marxist are stupid. They think that powers on the hands of a "patron" is more dangerous than on a politician. That's marxism !
"or is it because many people have limited contact with contries with liberal economic polices or both?"
USA is a "ultra-neo-liberalism" country. And USA is dangerous, they have Bush. Bush is a idiot. You understand ? Repeat after me. Bush is an idiot. He is american. Americans use liberalism economy. They make poverty on the world (and to afro-americans). Repeat after me....Have you seen the last Michael Moore movie ? Is a good guy. A good American. Kerry is the futur president (haha !)
That's french medias.
bttt
I see. And what balance are you expecting Stewart to shoot for?
"That's french medias."
Gads, it sounds just like our mainstream pinko media!
He can say whatever he wants, and so can we.
[...They have been arresting french police for unnecessary roughness...]
No Way! This has got to be another joke!
No... you're talking about France. Hmmm. This could be real.
LOL!
