I am sure that anyone who knows anything about the French and French history will know
that the vast majority are NOT in favour of fascism!!
This result has been caused by complacency, not by a sudden upsurge of far-right
thinking!!
The turnouts at the polls were apparently very low.This, along with Le Pen's campaign,
which capitalised on the French fears on the rise in crime, helped Le Pen get this
result!!
The riots and demonstrations on French streets today seems to confirm that the French
population have taken the message of this dangerous complacency on board!!
Hopefully, they will now make sure they use their vote so this odious little man is
stopped in his tracks!!
Regards,
Steve.
