just to save me the trouble of looking it up.....is he in the pockets of the banks like our last "socialist" leaders ?

Lets hope that he is the real deal for the frenchies, At least they seem to be able to stand up or themselves from time to time..........

It is indeed. 18% of the vote for the Front National might just help to jolt some European leaders out of their complacency. One can but hope.

can't really understand this love in with the EU.....

I mean, the ECB is an utter disgrace.(check out their last round of quantitative easing). The whole of Europe is run by the banks, for the banks, as far as I can see.

It's dangerous: either FN-sentiments go underground and are uncontrollable or (in France) they win a similar percentage of the mandates in the Assemblé.
In Greece a kind of (neo-)Nazi party is on the brink of entering parlament.

no, they would be just as bad.
That is the whole point.
The world is , as I said, run by the banks, for the banks.
And it is ALL about opinions, isn't it?
Am I wrong about the QE?

Wish I could borrow billions at 1 % to immediately lend out at 6%.
Nice work if you can get it.
