I think you would have preferred her father....

Described as more democratic and republican than her nationalist father, she has led a movement of "de-demonization of the Front National" to detoxify it and soften its image, based on renovated positions and renewed teams, also expelling controversial members accused of racism, antisemitism, or pétainism. An important moment was when she said that the Holocaust was the "height of barbarism" while her father had infamously referred to it as "a detail in the history of World War II". She finally expelled her father from the party on 20 August 2015 after new controversial statements.[12][13] She has also relaxed some political positions of the party, advocating for civil unions for same-sex couples instead of her party's previous opposition to legal recognition of same-sex partnerships

Interesting. It's almost like she's pivoting towards the middle. Classic move done by every successful politician ever. Bravo.

[Montegriffo]

Oh yeah, she's more successful than her father, she got 17% of the vote in 2012, she's also a lot more moderate.

[TheReal_ND]

She will win. These digits confirm.

She's another nationalist on the EU gravy train like Farage. I find it hard to take MEP Nationalists seriously.
On the one hand they decry the EU then they take a big wage from it, hypocrisy if you ask me.

Talking of habbenings, Carrie Fisher has had a heart attack.

Pro tip:

Spraying down a dissenting opinion with raw sewage is not the optimal method for promoting meaningful discussion.

One might actually consider posting actual counter-arguments rather than childish bullshit.

This.

Berlin Attack Suspect Is Killed by Police Near Milan

SESTO SAN GIOVANNI, Italy — It was a routine identity check, the kind Italy has relied on to stem the flow of illegal migration deeper into Europe. But the man stopped by two police officers around 3 a.m. Friday outside the northern city of Milan was anything but an ordinary drifter.

He turned out to be perhaps Europe’s most wanted man, Anis Amri, the chief suspect in the deadly terrorist attack on a Christmas market in Berlin that killed 12 people. Asked to show his papers and empty his backpack, he pulled out a gun, shot one officer, and in turn was shot and killed by another.
