Surveying the fall in support for the governments of Barack Obama, New York Citys progressive Mayor Bill de Blasio and Frances Socialist President François Hollande, a diagnosis of the current crisis begins to emerge: The political left can win elections but its unable to govern.

Bill de Blasios war on charter schools degenerated into an unseemly attack on poor New York minority children. François Hollandes first act in 2012, like a character in a medieval fable, was to order that more tax revenue be squeezed from the French turnips.
