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.
Pretty cute!
