Le Pen is mightier than the Sword.
Verily, a modern day Joan of Arc.
Excellent line
@@fanthony Joan of Arc was a teenage girl executed aged 19.
Le Pen is nearly 56.

The Times Radio doesn’t seem to think that politicians actually doing what the majority of people want and protecting national borders and culture is a good thing. That is the problem the whole of Europe is facing.
It's an astonishingly arrogant and pathetically pig ignorant blindspot universally shared by the entitled "elite", polticians, journalists, public official, etc.
Just because they don't like cheek by jowl with the consequences of their worldview and have nothing but complete and utter contempt for their country, culture, history and traditions, they immediately meltdown the moment anyone votes for a Trump or a Le Penn.
Because times radio want war and status quo
And I always wondered how could people in the 20s let fascism happen. Here's my answer
Lepen party do not have the majority of the electors support. They currently have the largest support. More people disagree with them than agree with them. Issue is they are so splintered they can't win. Also Lepen will do even better the better the hard left does. Only way to defeat her is for the far left to accept the can't win.
That's "liberals " for you . (Many ) don't fully understand the (should be ) simple concept of democracy .
'Hard right' you mean ordinary concerned people 😅
You will be worse off under them...
@@robmbmsthen y is living standards getting worse globally with the left ?
@@robmbms How so?
racists and freaks.
I share a wish not to be invaded. I do not think common sense is far right
this same political movement literally collaborated in the 1940's when france was invaded by the most evil regime in history. you haven't a clue, all you have is your islamophobia and hatred.
Europeans are waking up .
We need to save our sacred homelands that were handed down to us by our ancestors.
Which ancestors?? What sacred homelands??
lol...clown!
LETS HOPE THEY DO TAKE POWER.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Since when does sticking up for your country and culture become hard Right FFS ???
Not Far Right, but right so far!
😂😂😂
But she doesn't. She wants to give Europe to Putin. Putin is the only thing she sticks up for.
When it includes disrespecting other people's faiths and religions and forcing them to not wear headwear in public. Since when did the hard right actually care about ordinary people FFS???
Anything right of the left is far right to them
ok incel.
The big change is that the public is not listening to the media narratives like yours anymore. And it's about time.
I hope so
Good times for FRANCE! It is better for EUROPE - Madame Le Pen!
madam loser.
La pencil lost....lol
@@kingmilanovic6733 don’t matter. She’s what France truly needs.
Tommorrow belongs to Nationalists!
Russia is going to invade us lol
Who will hand Europe over to Vladimir Putin.
@@Akenfelds1 better than to Islamists
That'll be the UK gone then...
If only!
Le Pen is mightier than the Micron.
I personally think the pacts will keep RN short of an absolute majority
Good!
Vote vote vote❤❤❤ Right ✅️ 🇫🇷 🙌 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
It was bound to happen. It was only a matter of when, and which of the European countries blinked first. Now we will see all the other European countries following in France's example, and as the new leader of the EU Viktor Orbán takes over the seat we are in for an interesting time ahead.
Any party, either far left or far right, is a dangerous gamble.
What do you mean by 'Far-Right'? Privatisation, a small state, less bureaucracy..... Do you even know what right-wing and left-wing mean?
Great work times. This is a fantastic overview of the situation very clear and covers everything 👏
Ordinary people just want there country back if I were french I whould vote la penn
To little too late.
Back from what?
we get it you're a white supremacist.
who will do the work?
The french left protesting is part of the problem. France is chaotic, riddled with division, sectarianism, crime, homelessness, unemployment and underemployment. The centrists have encouraged and denied these problems, so frankly it is not a surprise that the french voters are turning to the only people who aren’t dismissing these issues.
And you are writing this from which country?
I also live in the south, in Cannes, and I agree with @monaco photograhy's comment (below). There is a lot of talk down here, and there has been for some time about leaving the EU.
I also agree wholeheartedly about the never ending strikes :0)
" @leecudmore-ray6697 I live in Monaco, and down here in the South of France, it's a stronghold of Lepen. She has often voiced her opinion on leaving the Eu. I also have a place just over the border in Italy, and there is also an opinion there that Italy would be better off out of it.
France is not exactly in a strong position. Although I don't think that leaving the EU will put a stop to the constant strikes in France.
There are problems all over Europe, not just the UK. Not everything can be blamed on Brexit. I still fave a home in the UK, and in general, food, gas, electricity is cheaper (bearing also in mind the 3kw limit in France), and the tax burden in France and Italy is higher.
Public transport in France is cheaper, because of the heavy subsidies, but that's reflected in the higher tax burden."
That was excellent.
Hard right.... never heard of that group.
I think they mean nearly every governing body outside of the western world.
nazis?
@@kingmilanovic6733 nasi... national SOCIALISM....... thus left. Sorry, try again
@@craigdavidson2278 I dont converse with the ignorant and uneducated...move along.
Vote vote vote❤❤❤ Right ✅️ 🇫🇷 🙌 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
Ultra hard right incoming msm is like a soap powder advert each week it becomes more fantastic.
Its Jordan Bardella and His mentor Marine Le Pen whose RN deserves now to be in the lead of round-2 too.
Far-right. Try Far-Correct. Viva la France!
Viva is Spanish. Vive is the word you want
ok traitor.
@@oitoitoi1 No. the ones in favour of mass immigration is ruining France. You go to Paris and you need your bag scanned to get into the shopping mall and armed police are everywhere. Party’s containing this are the traitors.
loserville.
Europeans are just being naive. I love Europe, they are just not paying attention and need to realize they need to wake up.
Not the “hard right” but the middle ground taking it back from the far far loony left.
Vote vote vote❤❤❤ Right ✅️ 🇫🇷 🙌 🇫🇷 🇫🇷
Possibility of Frexit if Lepen is victorious, which would probably be followed by quitaly
The National Rally supports reform of the European Union and its related organisations, it does not seek to leave the EU.
I'd not heard Quitaly before. For some reason it delights me.
you must be joking....... I live in France and everybody is laughing at Britain and the mess of Brexit. The UK ia an utter mess and everyone knows why.
@@leecudmore-ray6697 If you haven't noticed most of Europe is in a mess and everyone knows why.
@RF_Burns so did david Cameron....look how that ended 😅
Vive Le Pen Vive la France
Hardly hard right!🙂🍃
God willing 🙏
Jordan Bardella went to a catholic school, as did Napoleon Buonaparte. Napoleon Buonaparte, did he crown himself Emperor, or did the pope do that?
Much to the relief of most of Europe more like it and they are not the far right, they are just normal as it was just 20 years ago
Come on Le Pen France needs you to win . We love you . Trump 2024 make France great again .
Merde.
Yesss, nations of Europe will rise with pride and save Europe together. EU will fall before we do
Why is common sense, deemed hard right?
Le-Pen for France. and saving it from Islam /muslims getting a stranglehold on the counrry
Yes. Hopefully only after Le Pen pays her debt to Putin... 😂
Is cultural, that's why they hate him.
I guess they’re not your kind of people.
Not your kind of people at all.
190 comments, I can see only half of them. 🤔
France is not an island. And even the British Isles is not one country. Will this France survive the EU, or are we witnessing the decline of Paris's hegonomics over what is today called France?
I welcome new staunch president
It's laughable to call Le Pen and her party "far right". She has disowned her father's legacy(who was a proper nationalist, in my opinion), and backtracked on things like : taking France out of NATO, the EU and the Euro. It should also be noted that her deputy is half Algerian and half Italian, so that hardly governing in France's interests.
she literally wants to remove birthright citizenship and backs putin. she is the far right.
You are English, so thinking people must question what you call "far right." Plus, France. A place where anyone who believes in property rights or French over foreigners or old people are not that 60-year-old do not have the right to young people's resources is a far right xenophobe.
no
Yes!😂
France is a country...... or is it?
"Modern France" Hahahahaha.
For the sake of France and Europe as a whole Le Pen must be victorious!
Well doneLe-pen ,let's hope Britain goes the same way ,ps they are not the far right so stop talking BS.
they are the far right. only uneducated morons think otherwise.
PROPAGANDA
Reform for the uk next
Not far right just right so far 👍 viva Le Pen.
Politics is cyclical. Today's voters are mostly ignorant of the real-life consequences of far-right machinations. They're too young to have any experience of it, and are tempted by the key-words and plain lies that this version of politics relies upon. It's all waffle, fluff and nonsense, but sounds like firm governance, get it done gravitas. France needs to go through the same process that the UK has (probably still is to an extent) of being governed by ever more extreme right-wing politicians. Ms.LePen has ambition, a burning desire to lead, but literally zero grasp of what to do once she has that position, typical of career politicians, devoid of principles or philosophy. Her ideas depend upon a dictatorial political format, and I'd suggest that France has a long (well known) history of fighting back against top-down dictatorialism.
The fascists cannot govern. Hopefully, they will not assume power but it looks as if they will sooner rather than later, with their eye on the Presidency in 2027. They are the same as they were twenty two years ago when the left had to hold its nose and vote Chirac to prevent Jean Marie le Pen from becoming President. The mainstream right and the left have both failed France in the meantime, especially the left, which has ceded ground to the fascists, who have pretended they have changed. Just as the Democratic Party abandoned its blue collar vote in America, thus enabling Trump, Hollande's disastrous Presidency destroyed the Partie Socialiste in France as an electoral force. God help France if National Rally form a government but it is bound to fail. Small consolation but it may be the only hope of France swinging decisively back to the left.
Who were the more extreme far right British politicians?
Conversely, today's voters are only too familiar with the real life consequences of left-wing machinations. I'd suggest that France is indeed fighting back against EU top-down dictatorialism. Good for them!
@@RF_Burns Eh?
Hope so might move there if common sense returns, it isn’t here in uk.. labour 🤮🤮🤮
Things can only get better 🌹
@@robmbms things will have to get worse first before the masses see they are being manipulated
Hard-right... Please... This hard-right is like 10 times softer than the Hungarian right.
"they're not as fascist as those other fascists!"
@@oitoitoi1 Yeah well between fascism and that pseudo dermocratic woke degeneracy lead by multi-billionaire bankers I take the former without hesitation.
Then, go to Budapest and compare it with the shthole that's become London, Los Angeles or Paris for that matter, it's obvious what works best.
Hard right very far right 👍
Sounds rancid , to thwart the will of the masses and serve whom , fools
the "will of the people" is exactly the kind of language used by le pen's friends in germany when they invaded in the 40s, and then le pen's traitors on the far right collaborated with them.
Biased reporting --- not unbalanced journalism
Biased documentary .....not jouralists
Trump 2024 sorry world I am proud American not being Democrat no more 🇱🇷
A proud American that can’t even get their flag right? 😂
