RIP Simone Veil

Yeah, RIP FF.

Meh, you missed the time she walked with Christine Boutin to oppose gay marriage?

I'm surprised with NDA's voters. I always thought he and Le Pen were pretty close ideologically.

NDA party is pretty much FN for people not liking/hating Le Pen family, willing to work with the mainstream right-wing parties or finding FN too extreme/unfathomable for them.

Some of those people would never vote FN, under any circumstrances.

Hamon has changed the name of his movement again or is it another breakaway?

M1717 was a temporary name until an official congress happened.

There was a territorial election in Corsica today, the alliance of autonomists and separatists has a massive lead in the first round, they won more than 45% of the vote, another separatist list won less than 7% of the vote. They will probably gain a majority of the vote in the second round next week (and a huge majority in the next Corsican assembly).

The autonomists and separatists want to gain autonomy in the next few years but reject the idea of independence (at least for this decade).

The results: (all the lists winning more than 7% of the vote can be in the second round)
Nationalist alliance: 45.36%
Right-wing regionalist: 14.97%
LR: 12.77%
LREM: 11.26%
Separatists: 6.69%
Communists/Unsubmissive Corsica: 5.68%
FN: 3.28%

Turnout was low, 52.17%

The PS didn't even bother to run a list??

The Corsican PS was already barely alive before the regionalist rise and En Marche creation.

Good, now ban laptops from university classes.

(except computing, math, business modeling, etc. classes where it may be necessary)

yeah, but even computing now some courses just straight up get you to start writing code on paper.

That's straight-up incompetence, I would argue.

Witch hunt by dictator Macron.

Not really, it's just a new episode the Libya funding scandal. The first arrests and custodies were in March 2015, a time where Macron was Economy Minister.

Remember when Maron was the future of Europe and a transformational leader? Good times

He's almost less popular than Hollande was at the end of his term.

And yet, he is right about everything and is actually getting stuff done. Eventually, he'll beat these yellow-vested idiots.

The only thing he'll acheive is causing fascists to take power in 2022 if he is not stopped before.
