Interesting isn't it. At the very moment the UK looks to be about to rid itself of an ever increasingly right wing authority, France and the other EU countries look to be about to embrace nationalism.

To be accurate, exile, UK is about change to left wing authoritarianism.

If your on a low fixed income you are struggling just now with the high costs of living so people are looking for change in the hope of something better. They won't get it from Le Pen and co but things need to change. Living costs need to come down and taxes and charges to run a business need a major revamp. That is my opinion anyway. Oh and too many foreigners like us in France 😄 making France less French.

The EU elections are often see as a protest against the government so Le Pen will find it harder to get into power with a majority.

Extreme right wing influences to EU policies can cause some major damage to the way the EU works, that is more alarming.

Le Pen isn.'t the problem Bardella is, young, charasmatic a focal point for television, saying all the things that the "downtrodden" want to hear.A very dangerous element.

It depends on whose point of view . Democracy should mean accepting the majority vote, whether you like it or not . Or of course moving to a different part of the world where you feel more in line with the majority?

Bardella was the front runner on our commune, polling twice as many votes as the next candidate. Only about 50% turnout.

Same here , far right 41.67% of the 499 that voted , there are 782 that could have.

It's about time for another reset isn't it. Fascism in Russia/Belarus/Hungary. The young Germans are voting for the ADF. The Italian woman pretending she's no longer a fascist and then there's Ukraine and a re-run of 1930s' all mouth and no action. George Orwell's map of the world and it's power blocks now in 3D.
Ordinary people have financial problems right across the world and a lot of it stems from 2008/9 and zero % rates and the resulting bubbles. When the people and the political elites don't trust each other real problems occur - interesting times ahead.
