French politics

Voted in some very strict immigration laws today that many on here would be frothing at the mouth over.

Seems immigration is a huge concern for many right across Europe.

Strange isn't it, vote for Macron to stop Le Pen and still get Le Pen's policies.

The FN have made it to the last two presidential run-offs, something that would have been considered unbelievable not so long ago.

The PS have been absolutely hollowed out. Where once they were the party of Presidents, they now sit as a fringe party in the AG.

I lived in Pau, in the Pyrenees in the late ‘80s and witnessed first hand “la France profonde”. Then, it was more an anti-Paris/ big city thing. But as time wore on, as immigration increased, it became more of cry against multi-culturalism. Hence the rise of the FN/ NR

in the last presidential election Le Pen polled north of 40% (up from circa 30% in 2017).

If that were to be extrapolated in a similar vein in 2027, we’ll be looking at a National Front Presidency. Unthinkable not so long ago, now a distinct possibility. And immigration lies as its root cause.

It’s going to take something large to recalibrate politics away from restrictive and hateful policies.

Voting for these cranks just makes people angrier as they are bound by international law, so just shout their frustration on their news channels to angry people that lap up the excuses and get even more angry.

We’re already up to the poisoning of America rhetoric. It won’t be long before Farage, Le Pen et al follow suit.

Still, these angry viewers will be the first to sign up to fight for their countries in WW3, so it’s not all bad news.
