AN UNLIKELY CHOICE



French President Francois Hollande's recent approval rating dropped to 25%, a number the recent mid-term local elections highlighted. Now it's a matter of what if any changes Hollande will be able to engineer given the divisiveness afoot in the country.

One of the pitfalls Hollande and his newly chosen prime minister face is hardly unique or new: perception. Despite the calls for necessary change, what with all the checks and balances, the chances of any real change appear unlikely.
