Bipartisan Government: What a concept.


Interesting article from the economist below on how the new French President has succeeded (initially at least) in creating a bipartisan government with members of both the right and left of the political spectrum. While no one knows if this will have a long-lasting positive effect, it could potentially serve as a model for other governments who want to move forward. It certainly beats the model of some leaders who shall remain nameless of appointing like-minded reactionaries who want to tear the political system down.
