What do you call a French libertarian?

If I ever meet one, I'll ask! Hi-yo!

But seriously, despite their 20th century socialist ways the French have a gread tradition of liberty including their eponymous revolution and economist Frederic Bastiat. So it's encouraging to read news of a libertarian(ish) candidate moving up in the French Presidential Election polls.

Now I doubt that M. Bayrou is what anyone would call a hardcore libertarian, but anyone standing for public office whose "policies are fiscally conservative but socially liberal" my kind of person.

Best of luck to the sexy centrists.
