Comment: The development with UKIP and Farage is great, it shows that people are feed up with open border immigration and the European people want their own countries back. We see the same trends in France. No wonder.The news outlets continue to use terms like "far-right" and "extremist" and "fringe" to make people think it’s illegitimate and "wrong." the fact is they are scared shit-less of the trend going on in Europe right now and the fact that people are feed up with it and they want their countries back, this is a wonderful trend.
This continues to show the mass-media and political elites contempt for the people they are supposed to represent. The democratic process will soon be feared. The political elite has contempt for the opinions of their own constituents. Watch and see how the media spins this one.
Marine Le Pen wins record victory for Front National in French elections
Marine Le Pen’s far-Right Front National party has scored its highest ever percentage of the vote, exit polls in France show
France’s far-Right Front National was on course for an historic victory in European elections on Sunday night, coming top in a national election for the first time in its 42-year history in a score it said represented a “massive rejection” of the EU.
Early exit polls placed the anti-European, anti-immigrant party first with 25 per cent of the vote – a result that was even better than expected.
The result put the FN well ahead of the opposition centre-Right UMP party, on 20.6 per cent, which lost nine percentage points compared to 2009.
The ruling Socialists clinched a paltry 14.1 per cent, the second drubbing they have received in nationwide elections in two months after suffering heavy losses in municipal elections in March.
President François Hollande has called a crisis cabinet meeting on Monday morning to discuss his next move after this latest rout for his party.
Estimations suggest that the FN was on course for clinching 24 seats in the European Parliament – a major jump from the three it won in 2009 – with the UMP taking 19, the Socialists 13 and the Greens six.
To cheers and strains of the Marseillaise at party headquarters in Nanterre, west of Paris, a jubilant Marine Le Pen, FN leader, said: “The sovereign people has proclaimed that they want to take back their destiny into their own hands.“Our people demands one type of politics: they want politics by the French, for the with the French. They don’t want to be led anymore from outside, to submit to laws.”
The result, she insisted, translated into a "massive rejection of the European Union".
"We must build another Europe, a free Europe of sovereign nations and one in which cooperation is freely decided. Tonight is a massive rejection of the European Union. If through the incompetence and weakness of our leaders Germany has become the economic heart of the European Union, then France has been and will be the political heart of Europe.
“What is happening in France heralds what will happen in all European countries, the return of the nation."
The result was a triple victory for the Le Pen family as Marine came top with 32.6 per cent in her constituency in the north west of France, Jean-Marie was in first position on 28.9 per cent in the South East and Louis Aliot, Miss Le Pen’s partner, scored 23.7 per cent – in pole position - in the South West.
