Before Donald J. Trump’s presidential victory in the United States this week, Ms. Le Pen was considered a disruptive political force but far from a true threat to become president herself when France votes next spring. Not anymore.

Since Wednesday, French news outlets, along with Ms. Le Pen’s mainstream political rivals, have been repeating the same thing: It could happen here.

If Marine Le Pen came to power in France it truly would spell the end for the failing European Union, she would lead her country out within two years and the whole house of cards would come tumbling down.

You don't actually need to go to Saudi or Iran to see how racism works. Just get yourself up to Rochdale, for example, and ask the sexually-underaged white girls who were groomed and raped on an industrial scale because of their skin colour.

This country has never experienced such virulent racial hatred like it in our island history. And it's happened on all points of the compass in this country in the last 10 years or so. The luvvies and media have tried their very best to hide it though as it doesn't fit in with their airhead notions of 'progressive Diversity'.

This Filion guy is considered to be a safe pair of hands but pursues a Thatcherite economic agenda , if he wins the Republican/Conservative 2 way run off next week then he would most likely face Marine Le pen in the Presidential election next year , whilst the Socialist voters who will have no candidate have traditionally voted against Le Pen they may side with her against a conservative, as well as this the Front Nationale have a lot of economic policies which are quite left wing
Report tictacman1 November 20, 2016 11:57 PM GMT
French ex-President Nicolas Sarkozy has been knocked out of a primary to choose the presidential candidate of the centre-right Republican party.

Admitting defeat, Mr Sarkozy endorsed Francois Fillon, a moderate who finished first in Sunday's first round, according to near-complete results.

Alain Juppe, who like Mr Fillon is an ex-prime minister, finished second.
They will face each other in a run-off next Sunday. The winner will compete in next year's presidential election.


The winner of the Republican primary is likely to make the presidential run-off, where he or she will probably face far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
Report Des Pond November 21, 2016 12:36 AM GMT
You would think that there is still a fair amount of room for Le Pen's price to shorten in the months before the actual Election. Given that it is quite likely to be a shoot-out between her and either Fillon or Juppe, depending on who wins next week's run-off. It remains to be seen if the pro Fillon vote was a vote against Sarcozy, or if Fillon is really has the momentum to beat Juppe. The level of his support in the primaries was pretty significant, though, and he is clear favourite to defeat Juppe.
