Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, Jean Marie Le Pen's 22-year old granddaughter has become France's youngest MP in modern political history, clinching one of two seats for the far-Right National Front – its first in a quarter of a century.
Miss Maréchal-Le Pen, a law undergraduate, came top in her constituency in the southeastern Vaucluse department wtih 49.09 per cent of the vote after a rival Socialist refused to bow out to her mainstream Right rival.
Her grandfather, who founded the anti-immigrant, anti-EU party and turns 84 this week, was by her side last night to toast her victory. His party won 35 seats in 1986 only to lose them all after proportional representation was scrapped. It had only one other since, in 1997, but the result was cancelled shortly afterwards.

Cute little Nazi, isn’t she?
LePen is just as socialist, if not more, than the rest of the French political spectrum, but throws anti-semetisim and racism (real racism, not the pretend stuff that gets claimed here a lot) into the mix.
Not under Marine Le Pen. NF is pro-Israel, anti-Muslim-immigrant, and wants to leave the EU and go back to France having its own currency.
Le Pen is one of VERY few French politicians who openly oppose Islamic immigration. If Islamic immigration continues, France will be increasingly controlled by the Islamists.
What happens to French Jews then?
Understand this:
If Mitt Romney wins in the Presidency, the only “right wing” factions we will have here, from then on, will look like this and be 16% too.
See my “broken clock” comment above.
FN is a tax and spend Statist party. They also hate America. and the American way of life.
Elaine: Hey, who do you think is the most unattractive world leader?
Jerry: Living or all time?
Elaine: All time.
Jerry: Well, if it’s all time, then there’s no contest. It begins and ends with Brezhnev.
Elaine: I dunno. You ever get a good look at Degaulle?
George: Lyndon Johnson was uglier than Degaulle.
Elaine: I got news for you. Golda Meir could make ‘em all run up a tree.
