With the exception of your good lady wife, they are probably right.
And my Uncle. Don't forget him. He's a decent sort too.

Very impressive turn outs even for the MP's Yogi, I presume the French are more aware of the importance of voting?
On the principle that in the first round you vote for who you want but in the second against who you don't,the left know the importance of voting in the second round at least.:winking:
Just a cheap publicity stunt. The Le Pen aides had been told in advance she would need to have her head covered.

A brilliant exposé of Le Pen's ghastly and embarrassing publicity stunt in Lebanon. In this case, the pen indeed is more powerful than the sword, in destroying the awful woman completely.

I'm sure she is delighted with this sort of response. Without this type of faux outrage by the media and people like your good self there would be no Brexit, no Trump and no chance of Le Pen.
Of course a Le Pen win would mean the fall of the EU speeded up and no need for any Brexit negotiations. So carry on the good work with your help she now has a slim chance of victory.
I trust that I won't have to eat my words. :smile: Yet I don't believe the French will be stupid and gullible, to elect this poisonous woman in to power, as the the UK was to vote for Brexit

Great example of why we voted Brexit.
Lets hope a Le Pen victory causes you some more misery.
MELENCHON, THE MAN BIGGER THAN THE IDEA?
As I indicated on the by-election thread this morning we are 'extra lucky' in having two Corbyns to choose from. I do have the smallest grain of sympathy for Mélenchon but it doesn't go further than that. Fed up with 'middle of the road socialism' he left the mainstream party in 2008 to form a front de gauche..........known in the forthcoming election as 'Insoumis' (rebellious/unsubdued). Against most expectation the primaries for a socialist presidential candidate (which Mélenchon didn't take part in) threw up Benoît Hamon instead of the expected centerist, ex prime minister, Manuel Valls. Thus Mélenchon found himself in the awkward situation of having a candidate with ideas very similar to his own as a rival for socialist votes.
Last night on TV some lived in hope that Mélenchon would stand down...........no such chance! Both he and Hamon have showed willingness to meet each other (on sunday or Monday) to discuss the situation, yet when it comes to the crunch of one or the other standing down..........don't hold your breath! Hamon, with some justification, claims he is the official socialist candidate whilst Mélenchon when asked if he would stand down in favour of Hamon replied, "Pourquoi il ne la retirerait pas, lui ?" (Why shouldn't it be he who stands down?)
The upshot of all this will mean we effectively have a three-horse race for the Presidency; Fillon (far right Thatcherite), Le Pen (extreme right) and Macron (centrist). If the situation on the left prevails, Macron and his supporters will no doubt claim that a vote for either Mélenchon or Hamon in the first round will be wasted and will likely lead to an 'unpalatable' second-round stand-off between Le Pen and Fillon.
