Nationalist Le Pen advances to the May 7th election against Marcon.

Have the French had enough refugee culture thrust upon them?

Nationalism fighting back?

I know we all joke about the French, but like Brexit, this could be a very big deal.

I'm sure that more than a few folks in France have concerns over what a Le Pen victory might presage.

listen, when the Germans decide to go National Socialist Workers Party again, then give me a call. Otherwise, i'm not too worried about the french.
Now ISIS poking the Russian Bear... dumbass idea doesn't quite cover that one.

Yeah, I'm not too worried either if you were replying to my comment above...but I suspect that there are many in France who may feel quite a bit differently and not just those from North Africa.

It would seem that there's more than a few French concerned about what a Le Pen loss would mean for the country as well.

I'm betting on a Le Pen win, and Frexit.

I think it'll go her way.

That said; Le Pen and Macron finished with just a percentage point or two between them. It seems that the traditional French political machines are going to line up behind Macron- these are the same operations who were just told to go pound sand by roughly 50% of the French electorate, so it remains to be seen what effect that'll have.
