IMO MLP does not have the ability, nor the convictions to govern France.
Strong measures must be taken, and the entire political and legal system, as well as the entire idea of Europe and Schengen must be reformed.
She has a totalitarian mentality that elicits the worst instincts in French voters.
BTW These elections are basically meaningless, the regions have no real power in policy decisions, and have no enforcement powers. They are helpful in taking the temperature of the French electorate.
The main takeaway from today’s election is a beaten, defeated Socialist Party. That is a good thing.
I encourage all of you who understand French to listen to the many interviews and speeches.
France needs a strong leader, who understands and can express the complexity of the problems facing France. France does not need a totalitarian, anti-Anerican, anti Semitic anti free trade leader without
experience.
A national Socialist is still a socialist. When MLP danced at the neo Nazi Ball in Vienna a few years ago, she lost any credibility as a leader of a country that values individual liberty and freedom.
Now that Hollande and his Socialist party have been sent packing, the choice is clear.
Sakozy governed from 2007 until 2012. Did he do a damn thing about Islamic immigration?
Show me a link where he proclaims his desire to stop all Islamic immigration into France. Not "reduce" or "slow" immigration -- stop it.
