Stay informed about the French elections in detail.

Please keep in mind that the FN, the far right of the Le Pen family in France has nothing in common with the right and conservatism in America.

This is, IMO, a protest vote against the failure of the ruling Socialist Party concerning insecurity, immigration and incompetence, a failure to re-institute secure borders, high taxation, and lowered standard of living. France has huge problems, but the Statist, totalitarian, program of the FN does not offer a real solution. It doesn’t deal with the underlying structural weakness of the Vème République, and adds to the mix, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalist, xenophobia and anti semitism that brought France to the brink of extinction in WWII.

A major message of this election is that the Left in France is on life support, and dying. How can François Hollande, whose Socialist Party only got 14% of the vote, continue in office until the next election in 2017?

And the UKIPs in Britian are very related to Conservatism. The UKIP platform has a lot of Tea Party in it, down to the ending of tax subsidies for wind turbine farms, for example... People need to understand the difference...
