Francois [sic] Hollande, the unassuming politician who won last month's presidential election, is on the verge of cementing that victory by securing a legislative majority. If his Socialists can achieve that feat by securing a majority in the National Assembly, or at least forming a coalition with allies from like-minded parties, Mr Hollande would occupy a commanding position that France's left has not enjoyed in a generation. » | Henry Chu | Monday, June 11, 2012
