The outcome left France, a pillar of the European Union and Olympic host country, facing the stunning prospect of a hung parliament and political paralysis. (AP Video shot by Nicholas Garriga).

No, let’s be honest the French lost any hope of ever having their culture or their sovereignty back ever. France is going to be a Muslim country in one and a half generations.

Blah blah blah, it's the same over here in the States - anything to the right of a leftist is "FAR RIGHT" Normal people are sick of being called names.

So the parliament is going to have to actually......WORK, to get anything done. Either that or clutch their pearls and get booted out of office the next time, for not accomplishing anything.
