General Election called

[Margaret Pilkington]

Who knows...there might even be a Frexit.
Wouldn't that be a turnup and a poker in the eye for that arrogant Jean C Junker?(though I have another name for him - not suitable for on here)

Possibilities abound! But the majority of the frogs will need to develop a backbone first or even a pair of nads! I think the feisty Mizz Le Pen is carting them round in a sack at the moment (the nads of them neutered Eroes de Rezisdanze). I believe she has stated she wants to call a referendum on eu membership, drop the €uro like a bad habit & bring back national borders & rapid deportation of illegals, all very laudable & to my mind extremely sensible actions, but ........... She needs to get into the Elysee first!

And the Froglings gawd luv 'em, are their own worst enemies as has been proven over & over again with their Gallic shoulder shrugging, lefty socialist attitudes of Lesby fair & sesspit lavvy!

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes...but strange things have been happening of late.
Who would have predicted the result of the US election...or for that matter the referendum here(though that battle is not yet won).
If it did happen then I think the EU would disintegrate.

Looks like the Marine & the Front National (second with 21.7%) are headed for the run offs in 2 weeks time. As with the 2012 run-offs the FN qualified but the French sheeple ganged up on her & went with the usual suspects, hence froglands current state of disarray & turmoil.

One can only hope the froglings see the error or their ways & choose the sensible if not necessarily their favoured option for what it is, a chance to return France to its former self prior to Brussels diktats & demands.

Don't get me wrong on this, like any good Englishman worth his salt I can't abide the sneering, self centred, arrogant froggits, whose arses we've kicked & then confusingly rescued on varying occasions over the years.

No,the reasoning for my desire to see a more nationalistic & French France resurgent is far more selfish than that, I want Le Pen to dominate in France to assist & expedite the "Shoving it up eu!" & removal of the hordes of "Rapefugees & Gimmegrants" skulking along the French coast waiting to illegally enter our fair isle.


Vive La Victoire! Vive Le Pen!

Same hopes as you DinG, but now that she has come second all the losing candidates will try and swing their support behind the other one - ganging up on France's saviour in waiting.

How very French of them, well, it's their own downfall as there's no known cure for stupidity!

The French are habitual losers and are only on the winning side when Le Rosbifs come to their rescue

They will listen, and of course the French people will get the government they deserve.

If the French people think their lives and job prospects will be improved by voting for a global corporatist banker, they deserve what's coming to them (i.e. more of the same).

Apparently Macron wants to cut public spending by E12 billion a year for 5 years, cut 120,000 public sector jobs and cut taxes by 20 billion a year - he must have the Midas touch, and the courage to endure the inevitable strikes by the public sector workers. He probably hasn't factored in the increased payments to the EU to make up for the loss of funding from the UK. Allez France.

Listening to the Labour Party plans from Keir Starmer does not fill me with confidence for a possibility of a Labour Government.
They do not want to negotiate with the EU, they want to capitulate.
Jeremy Corbyn would go to the EU and negotiate(in the event of a Labour victory) and he would come back with a deal...regardless.
They want access to the single market, this in spite of the fact that we actually buy more from EU countries than they buy from us.
Let us get right out...not one foot in and one foot out...but totally completely out of it.
We share a house with 27 other lodgers, but pay half of the rent...that is the main reason they do not want us to leave and Labour would show their hand of cards before they get to the table.
This is clearly not what was voted for at the referendum. But of course these elite politicians believe that they know what is best for us.
