New Delhi – As the country’s economy recovers from the scars of demonetisation, the government has sought to float another trial balloon called universal basic income (UBI).

The ideas of Benoit Hamon, the surprise front-runner in the presidential primaries of the Socialist Party, are far to the left of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and even the U.K. Labour Party’s Jeremy Corbyn. This, of course, is the era of the expanding Overton Window , with radical ideas bursting into the mainstream. One Hamon proposal in particular, however, should never make it: A tax on robots, based on the premise that their proliferation is bad for human employment.

Hamon’s most discussed proposal is a 750 euro ($805) monthly universal basic income for the French. It doesn’t make much sense, […]

He will now battle former PM Manuel Valls in a second round to decide the Socialist candidate for the presidential poll in spring.

Hamon gained over 420,000 votes in Sunday’s ballot and secured 36 percent of the vote. Valls who served as Francois Hollande’s prime minister from 2014 to 2016 and interior minister from 2012 to 2014, garnered just over 360,000 votes.

Manuel Valls’ headquarters at the Maison de l’Amérique Latine in central Paris erupts into cheers as he walks into the room, with the crowd chanting "we will win". The results of the first round of the primary organised by France’s ruling Socialist Party have just been announced, and the former prime minister will advance to the second and final round next Sunday.

However, Valls did not come in first place, but second, with 5% less votes than his rival Benoît Hamon.

It’s a mitigated victory for the former prime minister, who […]

Hamon, 49, whose signature proposal is the introduction of a universal basic income, shot up in voter surveys during a rushed campaign that saw three debates in little over a week in January.

His key proposal, which would see unemployed and low-income workers receive a monthly payment of between 600 and 750 euros ($795) a month, would entail a costly and radical reform of state spending — some 300 […]
