"Marine Le Pen and the RN remain on the extreme right. A Le Pen victory on April 24th would be an unmitigated disaster for France and Europe. I will spell out why after April 10."
Please spell that out today. First, what does "extreme right" mean to the average Parisian? I figure it means "someone who wants a bit less government than William Jefferson Clinton". Yes of course I express it in terms of American politics, because that's what I know.
Second, bullet out what's so horrible about Marine Le Pen and why it would be a disaster for France and Europe. Please and thank you.
An interesting article, including mention that Le Pen has deployed her cats in her advertising, apparently with the hope of cornering the cat vote. She joins a proud tradition. In the sovereign state of Louisiana a GOP fundraising letter once insisted that both dead people and pets -- cats, dogs, ferrets, etc. -- might receive mail-in ballots and vote in a Senate election due to Democratic Party manipulation. In a tight race, every vote counts.
I have to admit that I don't pay much attention to French politics, so it was interesting and a little surprising to read this and realize that France has a Trump-like Right, and that it's actually a going concern. I mean I knew about the FN, but I thought it was much fringier than it apparently is.
