Maybe with some luck, they can pick out enough seats to be a viable coalition partner with the Tories, and can push them Right .

There is nothing more distasteful than the National Front in that election. By a mile.

If they don’t deport the muslim sharia type then they had better ban the muslim teaching of terror to children in their country. I still find it hard to believe they welcomed the 7th century barbarian Islamo terror in with open arms.

If you believe Le Pen is a conservative, your opinion of what makes a conservative is quite ignorant.

Some here calling her socialist, others conservative. She and her party are the scum of the earth.

“We see the National Front as socialists”

According to Breitbart, they are right-wing:

I am no fan of the National Front. In some respects they are the political successors to those French who actively collaborated with the Nazis.

But if France is to remain France, the problems caused by unassimilated immigrates must be discussed, and discussed honestly. Without the National Front, there simply would be no such discussion.

"I assume that I am incorrect in this assumption."

Not necessarily.

I suspect Freepers generally sympathize with populist movements that undermine elite power and are generally opposed to unlimited immigration.

We the support the preservation of western culture.

"If they win seats in the REAL parliament in London, then they can accomplish something."

There's reason to believe they sit atop a wave of positive sentiment.

One one has cast their first vote for UKIP they have crossed he psychological threshold and the second becomes far easier.

Of course the Tories will try to co opt all the UKIP issues and maybe even make a bunch of promises they have no intention of keeping. But like America's Tea Party UKIP knows what to look for and how to expose the disingenuous culture of the elite.

Game on. These were not just shots across the bow. The Tories an Labor took real and heavy casualties.

That's quite a list. Gotta prioritize that puppy, hopefully putting privatization and low taxes at the top.

Encouragement for the Tea Party. The way the Republocrat Party is going, we may yet see a third party.

Having a hard time finding out exactly what he won. Must not have been Prime Minister, not yet at least, from what I gather.

Folks here like here because she wants to cut back on immigration and abortions, she's anti gay marriage, and she wants to de-centralize away from the EU.

I think a vote for de-centralization is key.

Hey, it's Europe and it's France. How much conservatism do you think you can get there?

And BTW, cut the "quit ignorant" comment, crap.

Today’s Tory party deserves to shrivel on the vine

Just as the GOP, here.

“Mr Farage suggested he aimed to destroy the Conservative Party, not make pacts with it.”

By that he means Labor, yes?
