PARIS, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Marine Le Pen's far-right National Front party led in the first round of French local elections, TV exit polls showed on Sunday, with Le Pen and her niece Marion Marechal-Le Pen both gaining more than 40 percent in the north and southeast of the country.
If confirmed, the result would be a boost for Le Pen, who had hoped her anti-immigrant, anti-euro party would emerge top in the first round, boosting her hopes for 2017 presidential elections.
There will be a run-off on Dec.13.

You know the commie libs are in deep trouble when the French have had it with their nonsense.

You shoot up a bistro and the French get pissed.

Freeper lore: “stuned” is just fine here.
LOL, stuned is good Freeper lingo, don’t worry about it!
I sincerely hope that Maine LePen is the next president of France and I hope she spends her entire tenure throwing the bums out.
I'm relieved ;0)
YES!!!!!!!
Allons enfants de la patrie . . .
. . . . Le jour de gloire est arrive!
Marion Le Pen is a good Roman Catholic, Married, a mother of a 2 year old and a great speaker. The Neice of Maine Le Pen she is a great asset to the leadership of The National Front. A new Joan of Arc to rally the nation in her hour of greatest need.
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L’etendard sanglant est leve
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces feroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras,
Egorger vos fils, vos compagnes !
Aux armes, citoyens! Formez vos bataillons!
Marchons, marchons,
Qu’un sang impur abreuve nos sillons.
Note: Lyrics “La Marseillaise,” the French national anthem (Sorry I had to remove the accents to avoid the bizarre symbols they create.)
According to the article linked to at the bottom, within each region, every party that pulls at least 10% in the first round is eligible to contest in the second round.
A party finishing third or lower but with at least 10% may opt to not contest for the sake of influencing the outcome by casting their support to another party.

The National Front is “far right” because they oppose mass immigration by people wanting to kill them. I see. What they call “far right” is common sense.
The French have woken up from their deep sleep. Next, get rid of the EU. Close the borders. Monitor mosks.
