How well do have the leaders with english as their native language spoken french?
Dion was always ridiculed for his poor english, and it reflected poorly upon his abilities. While I grant he was a brutal leader, I think he is probably a very intelligent man. However his poor grasp of english and his ability to be baited in parliament to the point twhere he was so angry his english actually degraded, really mad him look like a buffoon.
Do the english leaders suffer a similar fate in reverse when they campaign in french?
