It's a fully developed party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-75544420044401385102011-09-09T21:56:14.958-05:002011-09-09T21:56:14.958-05:00All I've heard of the Front National is that t...All I've heard of the Front National is that they are pretty much a single issue (immigration) party. A good case could be made that it would be rather hard to ever restore the Catholic French monarchy if the country becomes majority Arab-Muslim. How well they speak French will not finally be the point.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-40582495004111318462011-09-09T17:33:54.198-05:002011-09-09T17:33:54.198-05:00I see what you mean, but the Front National is a f...I see what you mean, but the Front National is a fairly popular party. In most polls, the FN candidate, Marine Le Pen, reaches the second round of the election.<br />France's elctoral system, while it IS dominated by the UMPS (as we call it, amalgam of the center-right UMP and the Socialist PS), other parties aren't shunned in political discourse. The FN is the largest of the "small parties". There are many mayors and MPs in France that are FN.<br />It's why I vote for them and not Alliance Royale or similar Monarchist parties. THEY have absolutely no chance of winning. The FN does, if it is ever so marginal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-53053777200634761132011-09-09T16:26:22.570-05:002011-09-09T16:26:22.570-05:00Lorraine, thank you, AM I'm not sure what you ...Lorraine, thank you, AM I'm not sure what you mean, I checked better than the last 200 comments and found none by that name. A. Nicot, some monarchists believe in boycotting elections but I'm not one of them. I don't think it is a sacred duty by any means but they do have consequences so I see nothing wrong with trying to ensure that the lesser of two evils prevails. Besides, and I don't mean to deter you, but I would guess that voting for the Front National in France would be like voting for the Libertarian Party over here. Which is to say, voting for a party with zero chance of winning. Still, many do so as a form of protest or out of principle. I've voted for a 3rd party before.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-38827399549047237992011-09-09T14:44:26.297-05:002011-09-09T14:44:26.297-05:00I watched a small portion of that speech (I was on...I watched a small portion of that speech (I was on youtube, and thought "why not?").<br />I did notice he was making all sorts of campaign-like statements. Laying out plans for his hypothetical second term and so on. Politicians will always be worried about re-election, isn't it always the way. There were a bunch of graphs accompanying Obama's speech on the White House youtube channel which I found irritating, perhaps because they essentially were there to prop him up.<br /><br />It is always baffling how everyone hates politics and politicians, but everyone feeds them and the system anyway. Even I am guilty, since I am voting Front National in the French elections next year. It is mesmerizing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-48530349849835802062011-09-09T14:43:19.746-05:002011-09-09T14:43:19.746-05:00MM: could you delete ALL the comments saying made ...MM: could you delete ALL the comments saying made by marquitosidolo pleaseArgentinian Monarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422331914472198177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-15033877244462879602011-09-09T12:59:38.189-05:002011-09-09T12:59:38.189-05:00Bravo!
