A modest proposal

The Brusselsl Journal has a suggestion:

A quote from Gideon Rachman on his blog, 10 October 2006

[Last Sunday, T]he EU’s environment commissioner, Stavros Dimas, [lamented] the fact that Europeans aren’t allowed to vote in American elections. Ain’t life a bitch, as they say on the other side of the Atlantic. Maybe the EU should take the issue up in trade talks with the United States. Perhaps there could be some sort of reciprocal arrangement. Greeks like Mr Dimas get to vote in the American presidential election – and in return Texans get to vote in the French presidential election.

I wonder how the French would feel about this?
