...numbers," says Manuel Aeschlimann, a deputy in the National Assembly and a key Sarkozy aide. "Sarkozy looks good on urban security, but his profile was less developed on immigration." That is now bound to change, Aeschlimann suggests. "During the last presidential elections in 2002, the hidden issue was security: [Socialist candidate Lionel] Jospin underestimated the problem and got trapped. In 2007, it will be immigration," he says. "This is not the time to talk about giving foreigners the right to vote. It's a time for rational and humane restrictions on immigration, and that's what Sarkozy is proposing...

In both cases, the government also backed off, with serious consequences. The 1996 climbdown by then Prime Minister Alain Juppé helped bring a socialist government to power the following year; in the 2000 debacle it was Finance Minister Christian Sautter who lost his job. But here's the twist: years later, both sets of reforms have happened anyway. The national pension system was revamped three years ago. The Finance Ministry, long a bastion of public...
