France's far-right National Front is set to score huge gains in regional elections on Sunday, redrawing the political landscape of the euro zone's second-biggest economy as it gears up for the next presidential election in 2017.
The anti-immigration, anti-Europe party, boosted by fears over the refugee crisis and the Nov.13 Islamic State attacks that killed 130 in Paris, is seen leading in the first round on Dec. 6 in six out of 13 regions, a survey by Ipsos pollsters showed on Thursday.
The party, known by its initials FN, has become increasingly popular since Marine Le Pen took over the leadership from her father in 2011. It does not govern any region now, but a series of opinion polls shows it is likely to win one, maybe more, in a run-off on Dec. 13.......

If the far right scores huge gains, are they still the far right?
Needless, question I know, since these descriptions are always from the vantage point of the “journalist”.
The FN it appears to me is more liberal than our parties here, but very strong on French Nationalism and against the open borders that have flooded France with useless and criminal immigrants. If Marine LePen becomes President, watch for fireworks.
A little battlefield conversion going on.
A good analysis. The French are very tired of being told what to do by the Euronuts. If England leaves the European Union, France will be next, I’m sure.
The EU has been a German takeover-by-economics from day 1. IF France leaves that’ll be a major step to the natural European way of life.
I can’t help but remember Margaret Thatcher’s “Give me back my money!” There is a lot of dissension as the European Union strips more and more National rights away from its member states. You’re exactly right about Germany’s conquest of Europe by economic means while they always lost by military means. France won’t be the first to leave IMHO but if England goes, i think France will follow.
Also, Merkel has gone too far. She has blown the lid off the major cause of unrest in several countries. She seems to have caught the Obama disease.
England hasn’t really gone for it, neither had Norway. The EU, NATO, and other orgs are due for a major re-org. IMO.
England has been busy destroying itself, but won’t sit still for losing their “Nationality.” England isn’t England any more....it is Englandistan thanks to the Pakis, but if it leaves the EU, the burden will transfer to Germany which will blow the entire scheme apart. Germany won’t be able to carry the load, and Merkel has now given the other countries a reason to revolt. I agree, there is going to be a lot of reorganization and France will fight the inclusion of Turkey to the death.
Notice that the French election is in 2017. A lot can happen in two years. We are now so transfixed by the supercharged daily news cycle that we talk about events far into the future as if they have already happened. Here in the good ol’ USA we’ve lived under the tyrannical Hussein regime for seven years and have watched his cadre of crooks dismantle our country brick by brick without being able to stop any of it. Elections haven’t mattered, even though the GOP were given control of both houses of Congress. We talk about what will happen next year when the GOP gets the presidency as if it’s a done deal. Well, it’s not! The people of this benighted land have shown an uncanny propensity to actively seek their own downfall by elevating every sort of liberal lunatic, just as the Europeans have. Why would anyone expect this pattern of political, economic, and cultural ruin to change now?
Maybe France will listen to the Don’t-Commit-Suicide Hotline after all.
Can’t the Germans get rid of Merkel?
RE “...the far right ...”
In other words, normal French citizens, as opposed to the left-wing lunatic socialist psychotics.
Liberal chickens coming home to roost on the corpses of your fellow citizens who were slaughtered by muzzies will have that effect.
Has anyone ever heard the media use the term “far-left?” I haven’t. There would have to be one if there’s a far-right.
This is what France is facing.
Tet, Take Two: Islam’s 2016 European Offensive
http://gatesofvienna.net/2015/11/tet-take-two-islams-2016-european-offensive/
7. A Score of Beslans
The hard core of the battle-hardened jihadists now fanning out across Europe understands the tried-and-true process of igniting a civil war through terror. They will calculate that the European military and police cannot and will not sustain the battle against an unceasing campaign of terrorism. Brussels cannot remain on virtual lockdown forever without its economy being wrecked. What will happen when a Paris-type attack, or worse, is a daily event in a dozen European cities?
As I mentioned above, just the other day in northern Italy eight hundred combat-style pistol-grip shotguns were discovered in a truck on their way from Turkey to Belgium. Do the math. The Paris attacks were carried out by approximately eight jihadists armed with Kalashnikovs, shotguns and TATP suicide vests (which can be manufactured anywhere there is a kitchen). Now imagine a “Super Tet Offensive,†with every type of target on the hit list from airports to zoological parks, each being assaulted by an eight-man squad of such killers. Some attacks smaller, some larger, from pairs to platoons in strength.
Today, perhaps only a few short months prior to Tet 2016, there is no Islamic high command located in Europe or elsewhere in charge of planning specific terror operations. There is no OKW (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, the supreme command of the German Nazi armed forces) planning an Islamic Operation Barbarossa, hence, there is no command and control structure for Western intelligence to penetrate and disrupt.
Instead of a central brain directing many hands, think of a vast swarm of stinging jellyfish, all moving in loose formation, with the same generalized attack plan in their collective hive-mind. At the end of 2015, individual muhajirun may have only a basic awareness that they are heading to Europe to conduct a great jihad. As D-Day draws nearer, coded messages will proliferate with cryptic references to portentous events from Islamic history. “Get ready, and prepare to conduct major operations†will be the thrust of the online chatter and encrypted wireless messages. In each European city, targets will be individually scouted by local muhajirun in anticipation of a general outbreak of jihad terror attacks.
How many mosques have already received a truckload of shotguns or Kalashnikovs? Run the numbers again: eight jihadists per terror attack, eight hundred weapons per truck, 80,000 Viet Cong fighters in the original Tet Offensive, and an estimated 800,000 muhajirun flooding into Europe. Using radical mosques as clandestine armories is S.O.P in the Middle East, so why would the jihadists not use the same tactics in safe and docile Europe? Out of a sense of fairness and respect for European laws? Please. In the words of Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan, “The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers…†And bear in mind that anyplace an AK-47 can be smuggled, so too can a few kilos of Semtex.
Imagine a dozen or even a score of Beslan-type school sieges, all happening at the same time, across that number of European cities. Initially, the first string of major surprise attacks will be coordinated by the most well-organized terror networks using currently unbreakable wireless encryption. Many of the attacks will involve numerous captured hostages, often children, with impossible demands being made to guarantee their safety. Or no demands will be made; just rape and slaughter will ensue, as in the Russian Beslan example. This outbreak of major attacks will be the signal for the general jihad offensive to begin.
"Far right" is liberal Newspeak used to slander any white person who loves his country and his culture. "Far right" has come to mean "Europeans who want their country back."
I suppose if you had the never to throw out derelicts who were squatting in your house, trashing your property, and eating your food, you'd be "far right" too.
