It does if his priority's stopping Le Pen, but I'm not sure he's willing to lose power himself in order to do so.

okay i see, so it will be macron's arrogance and lust for power that could eventually help le pen get her victory. the guy is such a cunt.

I may be misjudging him. We'll have to see. I just wouldn't trust a liberal centrist not to end up too squeamish to work with the left. There's also the pressure of big business lining up behind Le Pen out of fear of the left's tax policies.

Macron’s camp, however, has been far less clear about what its candidates would do in a similar position. The president and party leaders have called both rival camps “extreme” – in the case of NFP, largely because it is dominated by LFI. Some Together candidates seem likely not to step aside for candidates from LFI.

As far as voters go, things are even more complicated. An Ipsos poll last week found 87% NFP voters willing to cast their ballot to block RN, but only 62% of Together voters. Another poll, by Odoxa, found that fewer voters (41%) were willing to block RN than to block NFP (47%) or Together (44%).

Farage attacking Le Pen:


He's had a lot to say about her over the years...

all you need is Farage/MLP love child story emerging from liaisons way way back in the long ago

if this plays out the way the numbers are rolling, would she push for a Frexit? Ukraine funding plus weaponisation of channel coast crossings a given but Frexit could speed up more aggressive forms of deportations

Manchester concert bombing happened years ago; and it's the same pattern - a "refugee" who came on a boat and was let in by British goverment decided to kill a bunch of kids. The same has been happening in France and Germany, bombings, shootings, stabbings, lorries running over Christmas markets and what have you. So it's not all of a sudden, it's just that people have become pretty desensitized (or wilfully ignorant) towards all those things and have problems keeping count.

Is there any source for the attacker being a refugee and/or Muslim, other than your obvious desire for this to be the case? It's looking a lot like your colleague @HMGovt’s Glorious Return!'s knee-jerk assumption that Trump's would-be assassin was a "left-wing extremist" until he turned out to be a registered Republican voter known among his classmates for his conservative views.

OK, so what do you intend to do about all the violent crime in Europe that's committed by people born in Europe (I.e. nearly all of it)? Send them back where they came from, or something?
