Yet the discontents remain. Fortuyn may no longer be alive to exploit them, and a 74 year old, such as Le Pen (comprehensively rejected in the 2nd round of voting two weeks ago) will likely fade away to political irrelevance, particularly if his party does not do well in June’s Parliamentary elections. But the opportunities for politicians even less scrupulous are set to grow. As are the risks of political violence, which is hardly the context in which to base a successful currency union. This is the real lesson to be drawn from the recent election results in France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Portugal, etc. – one which supporters of the euro continue to ignore at their peril. 64.29.208.119; William: Bill Clinton moved to the right and George Bush moved to the left to reach out beyond their respective parties...
