The niece of Marine Le Pen won her first election at the age of 22 and trounced a former prime minister, Alain Juppe, in a televised debate.
She is the new girl wonder of the French far right, a glamorous 25-year-old poised to break down many mainstream conservatives’ qualms about casting their vote for the Front National.
Since she was elected the youngest MP in French parliamentary history, aged 22 three years ago, while a second year Sorbonne law student, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, niece of Front President Marine and grand-daughter of its obstreperous founder Jean-Marie, has had the fastest learning curve in French politics since Bonaparte’s.
On Sunday, buoyed by the shock of the Nov 13 Islamic shootings in Paris, the list she heads is widely expected to come in first in the Provence-Côte d’Azur region, with polls giving her some 40 per cent of the vote. Even if the third-ranking Socialists drop out of the race to favour her Gaullist opponent in next Sunday’s runoff, Marion, as she’s known, has the most chances to swing into office, giving the Front National a shot at ruling one of France’s most dynamic regions, and the second most populous after Paris.
Her aunt may well lead a Front victory in the North, a depressed region with high unemployment, little prospects for development, and bleak cities like Roubaix and Tourcoing, the French answers to Bradford in terms of a tense ethnic mix. The last authorised polls before Sunday’s vote even gave a lead to the FN in six out of 13 French regions, although this is not expected to translate into many actual victories....

You cannot be Conservative and for wealth redistribution.
Yeah, I read somewhere that Kathy Lee Crosby was the original W-W. Ahh, the 70s. How sweet that time seems now.
Huey was what I call an Honest Crook. He never tried too hard to conceal his political corruption. People in Louisiana actually benefited from his governance. He was a threat and was eliminated.
Notice she is posing with an oleander... A poisonous flower..LOL
There is a difference in economic and political thinking though there is some overlap. (By the way I’m not a supporter of “The Kingfish” I merely assert he was viewed as a threat and was eliminated by assassination. This is what will happen if any truly conservative becomes a threat to the elites in our times.)
A new Joan of Arc?
I pronounce her NOT GUILTY. And I approve of her political views as related to Muslims and immigration in France.
I love her. I wish to marry her.
Sure you can.
THE HELL YOU SAY.
Hey Laz! You got one of those fur-collared dog collars for this girl?
Uh, she’s French.....
My point is not to glorify “Ole Huey” but to point out that he was viewed as a threat to the then “establishment” and thus eliminated. The same will happen today if any politician becomes a real threat to today’s establishment.
She would be well to the left compared to a Ted Cruz or even Karly. You will hear quotes from her like “We shouldn’t overuse abortion”. But she’s about the best you’re going to do.
Sorry. She has a husband and a one year old kid.
I’d hit it
He was a threat, he was a frickin’ Fascist.
....aannnnddd......
Husbands can be killed and I love step-kids.
