MLP may have lost, but the new movement she built by legitimizing the FN, won 2-3 seats. Including that of bébé Le Pen, Marion Marechal-Le Pen, age 22, who won in Carpentras.
They represent at least 16% of the electorate in France, and whether we like it or not, they are here to stay.
Marine Le Pen, Mr Le Pen’s daughter and FN leader, lost a bitterly close battle in the constituency of Hénin Beaumont in the northern Pas de Calais. Madame Le Pen lost by just 114 votes to a Socialist, and called for a recount.
What does ‘far right’ mean in France? They’re going to raise taxes but not as much as the others?
Sacre Blue!
“Le Pen is Mightier Than Les Sore-eyes...”
She looks like her grandfather...
I dont begrudge their desire to keep France French
Too late for that here.....
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.
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.
