Berberis Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I think this could be an upset too, but not in the same way as Brexit and Trump. I suspect the right will assume that just like Brexit and Trump that they will win, but the left will rally and stop La Penn from winning. The media is going to be far less certain with their predictions to the point where they will predict a La Penn win, not based on evidence, but rather on having got it wrong twice they will start to back the candidate that is unlikely to win, but popular. This will invigorate the middle and left to vote for a moderate and make the right think they have it in the bag. Francois Fillon will then win.

Flexo Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Could she win in France? Will this be the final piece of the jigsaw that finally finishes the EU off? This has all the hallmarks of Brexit and Trump and I support her wholeheartedly but maybe this might be a step too far for tackling populist leftism, when I say I support her that doesn't mean I necessarily agree with her. Would you support Hitler as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomjames Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If le pen wins and ed balls wins strictly, are we looking at the End Of Days? Yes, its already a field day for racists with brexit and they will all come out of woodwork if Le Pen wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrystottle Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If le pen wins and ed balls wins strictly, are we looking at the End Of Days? Ed Balls! When I was 15 I had a Saturday job in Tescos, stacking shelves. Well not shelves exactly, it was stacking potatoes into this contraption on four small wheels, about six foot tall and 2ft by 2ft. It was a sod to manoeuver, heavy and unwieldy. And every time I watch Ed Balls dance I'm reminded of that 6 foot tall tatie holder.. Anyway L00b, thanks for that rundown, very interesting.

Santo Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 If le pen wins and ed balls wins strictly, are we looking at the End Of Days? Honey G is gonna win X Factor too. That just might kill off the shows. (I couldn't care less about X Factor but I'm partial to Strictly having been forced to watch it to engage in water cooler moments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbeliever Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 You could argue that many of the policies of the FN are pretty hard-left policies (and many commentators do). So a vote for Le Pen is a vote for socialism. That's why I suggested that Pretty Big didn't have much of a grasp on their policies. I'll withdraw now and leave you to research your new-found affinity for the far left:) Welcome, Comrade. Yes she's yet another bigoted socialist. Stupidly referred to by everybody as "far right". She'd turn France into North Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
