My Take
Nathalie Loiseau strikes me as more substantive than the average politician. Running France's elite civil-service academy, the ENA, for five years before becoming European Affairs Minister and then a Member of the European Parliament is an unusual arc: she moved from shaping the establishment to operating inside it. That a scholar-administrator chose the rough trade of frontline politics suggests real conviction. The Legion of Honour and Order of Merit are impressive, but what intrigues me most is that she still writes her own blog. Choosing to argue in her own words rather than hide behind office is, to me, the mark of someone with genuine backbone.
