Ceec, do you think Marine Le Pen will win the French presidency?

Don't follow it closely so cannot express an opinion beyond she is doing very well



It will come front and center next year



I do suspect that UK leaving will help her - I showed PEW's trend in France earlier   and the numbers (and consistent downward direction over years) show really poor EU support



In fact numbers for and against are far more striking in that regard than the UK



Note not just the numbers but the last 2 yrs for France - and for Germany also - in fact, all the oldies are noticeably headed downward

The leader of the National Front in France has hailed Britain's decision to leave the EU - and has called for France to hold a similar referendum.......



.......Speaking during a press conference with a backdrop saying 'Brexit - and now France', Marine Le Pen said the choice for Britain to leave was a 'historic moment'



Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she and hers got the most votes in the latest bi-elections.

Front National Now Top Choice For French Youth



France's Front National is now attracting voters of all ages, as a recent poll has revealed the Eurosceptic, anti-immigration party is now the top choice for 18-30 year olds.

With between 27 and 31 per cent of French youth saying they are ready to vote for Marine Le Pen, Le Point notes that the time of the Front National's widespread demonisation now seems long gone.



Having voted decisively in the country's 2012 elections for the current head of state, Francois Hollande, Le Monde reports that the latest study, done by Ifop for France's National Association of Boards for Children and Youth (Anacej), shows young people in France have turned their back on the Socialist Party President.

Le Pen and the Eurosceptic parties are protest parties. They would govern very differently.

You mean their post election actions would not match their pre election populist rhetoric?  I would be surprised if it did.

So, Boris Johnson is out as a candidate and his supporters are pissed at Michael Gove.

My husband has relatives in the Netherlands that he was talking with on the weekend..



There is a movement in Holland as well to hold a referendum on leaving the EU..



Perhaps it would be called Nexit if it were to be held, but it probably won't happen.

Gove will not win the Tory leadership.

It's becoming clear that if the EU wants to survive, it needs a drastic overhaul or else an increasing number of its member states will revolt and leave.



The EU should allow their members to have complete control over their immigration policies and the ability to close their borders. Its evident that the concept/policy of open borders doesn't work anymore. Maybe it did for 30 years or so, but it today's post-terrorist world, no more. Too bad, so sad, but that is the reality now.

Reduce the size of the EU bureaucracy and return to a trading bloc again. Repeal the Maastricht Treaty.
