French elections

The skulduggery begins.

It is being reported that 30,000 pro Le Pen Facebook accounts have been closed down.

Facebook are claiming that that this is a crackdown on so called "fake news" at the same time as Facebook itself is being lambasted for making money out of promoting fake news about Alan Sugar and the death of the queen.

You don't suppose the purge has more to do with political content than accuracy of content do you?

Perhaps the millions spent settling into the village by one of the halley family is a sign of fear if certain elements of french politics gets to rule france lol

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

The NF is the only party that cannot fund itself using bank loans. Banks won't lend to them. As a result they have to raise money elsewhere, usually dubious sources which leaves then open to criticism from less then neutral commentators such as the BBC.

 

Two years ago in the interim elections the two main parties conspired to field just one candidate between them for each seat thus reducing the chances of the NF winning any seats.

 

This year the the first round is too close to call. But the French then vote for one or the other of the two who got through the first round. There is a saying in France that in the first round you vote for the candidate you like the most and in the second round you vote against the candidate you fear the most. On that basis le Pen might get through round one but she will never win round two.

That certainly goes some way towards explaining the rationale behind NF's "Choose your France" poster campaign.

They are sending a very clear message that the traditional parties mean more immigration, more terrorism and more chaos.

Western European countries simply cannot continue to absorb the current levels of immigration. They haven't got the jobs, schools, health services, etc, etc to cope with uncontrolled immigration. As such the chaos of homeless, unemployed migrants sponging off the state for ever, schools being over run with non national language speakers and health tourism would reduce if migration was controlled beyond that currently allowed by the EU.

 

Terrorism would also reduce on the basis that most of the current attacks in France, Germany and Sweden were carried out by newly arrived immigrants. It would not stop terrorism totally as shown by the 7/7 bombings that were carried out by home grown criminals, but it would certainly reduce the risk of the unknowns sneaking in.

 

Going back to the opening post; "The skullduggery has begun" The skullduggery began way before this week. For months candidates have been embroiled in scandal, financial misconduct and other matters for moths. Sarcozy grassed up his political opponent as soon as he lost the race to head the party hoping that he would be dropped and replaced by the Hungarian Emperor himself. All the current leaders of the leading parties have been indicted in fraud except Macron who is the French Tony Bliar in that he has taken a large part of the socialist party currently in power and reinvented it to lose the stigma of Hollande's reign.

 

I keep telling my French friends that it is easier to vote this time as there will be only one not going to prison. Unfortunately it is the Bliarite Macron that has kept his nose clean best.

Who do the French people fear most?

Do they fear a communist who proposes withdrawal from NATO and admires late Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and Chinese chairman Mao Zedong?

Or do they fear LFN?

 

We live in interesting times.

Interesting question.

 

If Macron and le Pen are the two picked for the run off then it will come down to a pro-EU candidate who along with a German politician has published a platform advocating a continuation of European integration. They advocate the continuation "of structural reforms (like labour market), institutional reforms (including the area of economic governance). Or an anti-EU candidate with a clear mandate to hold a referendum on EU membership and limit immigration.

 

The French election could come down to a simple decision on EU or no EU.

I was actually thinking of Jean-Luc Mélenchon rather than Macron.

Yes, I know. But as he is still several points behind I was giving an alternative and probably more likely scenario.

 

The US elections were between two unelectable candidates. The French elections are between four unelectable candidates. It is a strange situation.
