No strategy will work if it is implemented by mediocrities who, in a political comedy as dishonorable as it is vain, rush to the television studios to declare, hand over heart, that they have heard the voters “loud and clear.” The key will be for French leaders to say – as loudly as possible and as often as necessary – that there is no answer to the “hard questions” as the FN poses them.
任何政策，如果由平庸之辈来实施，都无法奏效。平庸之辈只能上演可耻徒劳的政治闹剧，来到电视台，把手放在心上宣称他们已经听到了选民“响亮清晰”的声音。关键在于法国领导人要说出——尽可能大声、尽可能频繁地说出——国民阵线所提出的“难题”没有答案。不管你喜不喜欢，不仅必须对国民阵线领导人这样说，还必须对国民阵线的选民这样说。
