Around power How can we make the party our helmsman again? Publication date: May 24, 2001 Kirill Yakimets The majestic word "party", or fifteen minutes for the voter Any practicing political strategist knows: voters “vote for a person, not a party.” The words quoted are those of Jacques Seguela, the patriarch of French political PR.
