Because despite souring public opinion and the risk of gains for the left at the polls, one thing hasn't changed since Sarkozy's convincing election victory only nine months ago: the wide consensus among voters that France needs the root-and-branch reform Sarkozy was elected to enact. Candidate Sarkozy promised harder work, more pay, fewer civil servants and a pared-down welfare state. He said he'd help small businesses get out from under high taxes and stifling regulation.
