  • @Knightedddd
    From the viewpoint of the extreme left everything and everyone is far right.
  • "Far right less than a majority." Kind of by definition right? Imagine how silly the headline would look if it said "far right are absolute majority of voters." Would that make France a "far right" country?
  • Ask rioters if they know Joan D'Arc, Voltaire, Diderot, Charlemagne,...If they don't, they are NOT FRENCH.
  • Real French (children of Joan D'Arc, The Sun King, Napoleon, Voltaire, Diderot, Descartes, Victor Hugo, .....) want to take France back.
  • Look likes France heading towards hung parliament possibility.
