I laugh at how the media keeps defining Le Pen as "far right." There's no such thing in France, birthplace of the group of political ideologies derived from Marxism, itself derived from the earlier proto-socialist movement that gave rise to the French Revolution. Le Pen is socialist light with a nationalist, populist twist.

I hope she wins because it would likely mean the end of the EU. But no one should be fooled that she is Right wing as we understand it.

Thanks for the primer on La Pen.

At least she seems enough of a nationalist to protect her nation from destruction.

I don’t care for Europe. It’s far to socialist for me. That being said, so is our nation.

Hopefully it will be less so in four and even less in eight years.
