Ahhhhh...like when Tony warned you of the imminent anti-Macron riots?.....I noticed you went strangely quiet once the French started taking to the streets with rocks, bottles and Molotov Cocktails....strange that

Yep, you seem to enjoy backing the Lefties, Driller....then when it goes tits-up, like Steptoe, Abbott and Owen all doing their pro-Venezuala stance....you all sit back and say "not my fault, I'm not in Power"

Just to refresh everyone's memory on the Labour support of an Army-backed Socialist Dictatorship in Venezuala.....Abbott is particularly inspiring...not

11 minutes of pure Lefty comedy

Anti Macron riots?

Can you name a French president whose tenure hasn't seen violent street protests when they have tried to reform employment law? Or even when they haven't for that matter. I can't.

Can you remember when you thought Le Pen was going to win because of a right wing populist revolution sweeping everything before it in Europe? That was quite funny.

I back up the 'lefties' when I think they're right, I back up right wing opinions when I think they're right (Macron is neither really).

It's called making one's own mind up.

So why did you shoot Tony down when he said there would be rioting on the streets?........what you really meant was "yes probably, the French love their Molotov Cocktails"

Then I wouldn't have to waste my time correcting your inaccuracies......plus Chubby's......I'd much rather be outside trying to grow some veggies in readiness for "the end of the World" when my Pension Cheques from Blighty dry up.

ps Macron was the "left" of the Macron v Le Pen battle.......and Le Pen vastly increased her share of power and seats in their Government.

Macron was backed by Big Business, Globalists, the EU and the Banks......wow, well done France....talk about shooting yourself in the foot....time will tell huh.....Cannot wait

Driller, you are aware that Le Pen gained seats?

Electoral successes (2012-2017)

In the municipal elections held on 23 and 30 March 2014, lists officially supported by National Front won mayoralties in 12 cities: Beaucaire, Cogolin, Fréjus, Hayange, Hénin-Beaumont, Le Luc, Le Pontet, Mantes-la-Ville, Marseille 7th sector, Villers-Cotterêts, Béziers and Camaret-sur-Aigues. Following the municipal elections, the National Front has, in cities of over 1,000 inhabitants, 1,546 and 459 councilors at two different levels of local government.[164] The international media described the results as "historic",[165][166][167] and "impressive", although the International Business Times suggested that "hopes for real political power remain a fantasy" for the National Front.[168]

The National Front received 4,712,461 votes in the 2014 European Parliament election, finishing first with 24.86% of the vote and 24 of France's 74 seats.[169] "It was the first time the anti-immigrant, anti-EU party had won a nationwide election in its four-decade history."[170] The party's success came as a shock in France and the EU.[171][172]
Presidential and parliamentary climax (2017-present)

On 24 April 2017, a day after the first round of the presidential election, Marine Le Pen announced that she would temporarily step down as the party's leader in an attempt to unite voters.[30] In the second round of voting, Le Pen was defeated 66.1% to 33.9% by her rival Emmanuel Macron of En Marche ![173]

During the following parliamentary elections, the FN got 13.02% of the vote, which represented a contre-performance compared to the 13.07% of the 2012 elections. The party has seemed to have suffered of the demobilization of its popular voters. However, 8 deputies were elected (6 FN and 2 affiliated), the best number for the FN in a majority parliamentary election since its creation (proportionnal mode was used in the 1986 elections). Marine Le Pen was elected for the first time at the National Assembly and Gilbert Collard has been re-elected. Ludovic Pajot became the youngest member of the current French parliament at 23.

....plus AFD in Germany?......In the 2017 German federal elections the AfD won 12.6% of the vote and received 94 seats; this was the first time it had won seats in the Bundestag
