Good luck to her. Is the typical thing that's happened in the past where all the other candidates pull out and back the FN opponent likely to happen again this time?

France of all nations in Western Europe gives me the most hope. It's the birthplace of so much of Europe's revolutionary spirit but it also has a strong and intellectually grounded right wing tradition unlike America or England.

Shame Germany no longer has that anymore.

Is that right? That is a shame. I guess when you go to jail for stating certain opinions it limits intellectual freedom -- although to be fair to the French they go to jail for saying the same things.

At least they have a rich history to draw from.
