Le Pen is already shaking up the status quo, but that's probably all she'll be able to do. Unless ISIS decides to pull out all the stunts (multiple terrorist attacks), I see Macron winning.
However, immigration reform is now going to be on the French radar regardless of who wins.
Why no picture of Marshall Petain? He, like Le Pen is a fascist who is doing the bidding of a foreign power. He, also like Le Pen, didn't like anyone that the far right didn't consider a true native.
Yea...the beginning of a beat down for the fascists.
Fascist this fascist that, shut the **** up Tom, Le Pen is far from a fascist and you're just painting her through your leftist tinted glasses.

How very, very curious, no?
Because Le Pen is racist, homophobic, a fellow traveler of Neo-Nazis, xenophobic, financially supported by Putin, etc.

The fact that the Le Pen is female is irrelevant.
Women only matter if they agree on the SJW pecking order. #NotRealWomen

Because Clinton is a liar, criminal, and sexual predator enabler supported by the Media, etc.
The fact that Clinton is female is irrelevant.
Interesting

You don't really think that will happen, do you?
It could.
First, the SNP will sweep Scotland.
Plenty of Labor folks are livid over Corbyn's failure to support the EU. The ones I know (but of course they are educated and urban) are openly supporting the Lib Dems
And just this morning. Tony Blair signaled his support for the 'abandon Labor to save the EU'. Pretty significant Labor guy there.
Remember, the Lib Dems are openly campaigning on no Brexit. In an election with all other Brexit supporting parties....its not beyond the range of possibilities.
Bump.
curious results all around. SNP "sweep" of Scotland? IndyRef 2? SNP/LibDem coalition govt?
Umm, no.
Brexit hinges on the Irish Unionists. Not yet sure what they'll want but (just a guess) this whole thing could be headed for the fabled "Norway Option". EFTA.
