"If Le Pen wins she says she will put France First. French law above EU law, French Citizens over EU Citizens.. Could this be Frexit ...? Will she make France Great again.." She would make France great again in the same way Trump made America again. And as mentioned, there would be hard times ahead for non-white, non-christians. There's no way they'd be stupid enough to leave the EU. | |||

"If Le Pen wins she says she will put France First. French law above EU law, French Citizens over EU Citizens.. Could this be Frexit ...? Will she make France Great again.." She won't have France leave the EU if she wins but she will try and change it from within. She's more of an Orban, or a Duda, in her view of the EU. None of them like it but they don't have the honesty to leave it - unlike the English, to be fair to them. | |||

"If Le Pen wins she says she will put France First. French law above EU law, French Citizens over EU Citizens.. Could this be Frexit ...? Will she make France Great again.." I can't see le pen winning in the first place. Macron has an open goal what with her relationship with Russia. On top he can exploit her anti EU stance. Although she may say France won't leave it does not stop macron from making such an allegation. If by some freak event she does win I think there will be some rhetoric to the EU but at the end of the day will have to follow EU orders, like them or not | |||

"If Le Pen wins she says she will put France First. French law above EU law, French Citizens over EU Citizens.. Could this be Frexit ...? Will she make France Great again.." Let’s get a little perspective here, you really think that a country run by Le Pen is ever going to be Britains friend? That leadership will be more aloof and more antagonistic against Britains interests. | |||

That's it in a nutshell, you're not the only person who is apathetic to the whole process of democracy and apathetic to the British people being fucked over. A survey last year suggested that upto 18% of people still supported brexit despite the reality of brexit. What can you do but poke a bit of fun at them? | |||

Like it or not the English voted to leave so out money where mouth was (or not as the reduction in gdp might argue, but that’s besides the point. They walked the walk… maybe off a plank, but wall it they did. That’s how Inread your comment. | |||

That's a fine objection. In any case, the fact is, both leave campaigns were illegally funded. The government followed the law. A lot of people seem to celebrate that both leave campaigns illegally undermining democracy. Fair play to them. | |||

Let's hope if the French are driven down the same route by their billionaires, that their referendum will be free and fair. Of course you are correct I remember the result being overturned in a court of law. Hold up, wait a moment it never got overturned and the democratic result stands. Are you genuinely unaware of the illegally funded leave campaigns? And that if the referendum would have been binding instead of advisory, that the result would have been overturned in the courts under British law? are you aware that remain spent around 23 million and 9of that was tax payers money compared to leaves 13million was that fair ? The government were legally obligated to provide this leaflet. Are you suggesting they should have broken the law like the leave campaigns did? Seems like a strange thing to suggest.no not suggesting that at all maybe the could of just spent the same and called that fair or should the party with the most money always win So it's the law you have a problem with? That's a fine objection. In any case, the fact is, both leave campaigns were illegally funded. The government followed the law. A lot of people seem to celebrate that both leave campaigns illegally undermining democracy. Fair play to them. " there ya go again I never mentioned a problem with the law putting words in peoples mouths seems to be a hobby of yours next it will be upset or beef lol | |||

"The only jackboot noise I hear is the noise of those who cannot accept a democratic vote.. Seems to be a lot of excitement for people who illegally undermined the democratic process of the brexit referendum.

If you have a problem with that, it's a legitimate problem. No need to get upset with me. I support you taking issue with this law. | |||

"There are very strong parallels between France and the UK voting to leave the EU, and it's for mostly the same reasons - cheap migrant labour putting jobs under pressure in less developed/more rural parts of the country. In fact, as a student of French politics and culture since the late 90s and having lived in the rural South on and off since then I can say with certainty that thus has been a pressing issue for the French for probably longer than people were aware of the debate here in the UK. The French badly need a left wing candidate who will look at migrant labour issues and be tough with the EU (but not necessarily be pro-leave) if they want to avoid a continuing descent further into far right authoritarianism. We missed our opportunity with Corbyn, the French don't have a Corbyn yet (that I am aware of) " Is Frances issues from EU migration. I got the impression it was more colonial.
