      Both Napoleon and Hitler held plebiscites, which is why liberals call such public votes tools of dictators, and they're actually right. It's one of the reasons why dictators are often more democratic than bourgeois parliaments. Carl Schmitt points this out in his book Dictatorship.

      Ideally it would be nice if they would just make the election the referendum for whatever policies on immigration they espouse.

      For those following closely what exactly is NR's immigration plan now? Has it been watered down in the quest to make the party more presentable and Le Pen more 'Presidential'?
