Among the big economies, only Spain is run by Socialists, and even there they are in trouble. The one country where the left ought to stand a good chance of breaking this trend is France, which holds a presidential election in 2012. With Nicolas Sarkozy deeply unpopular and the right having occupied the presidency since 1995, it is the Socialists’ election to lose. But the party has an uncanny talent for blowing its chances by picking the wrong candidate. Is it about to do so again? Candidates for the Socialist primary have until this June to declare themselves, ahead of a vote in the autumn. To outsiders, the choice looks simple. Dominique Strauss-Kahn (pictured campaigning in 2007), the head of the Washington-based IMF, boasts both heavyweight credentials and domestic appeal. A former finance minister of France, an ex-economics professor and one-time mayor of Sarcelles (a banlieue of Paris), he has grown in stature in his current job, at home and abroad.
