The Race Card

They sing the same song as the French "Front National". Unfortunately, it's not very funny.

In the first round of elections for the Presidence (2 weeks ago), they were credited with over 17% of votes. In 2002, they arrived in second position in the first round and went onto the second that they lost.

Yet, while I cannot say that I like them, they have some proposals that aren't just bullshit. Some might even be workable.

If they can get 17% of votes on a major election, they're not a marginal party. Yet, that's how they're seen by the whole French left wing.

My late father used to say that you should never give power to extremists but, should you begin to hear them growing louder, it's the sure sign you have to do something.
