BGD 6,436 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) So what happened to this right wing awakening in Europe I heard so much about? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/france-election-results-national-front-national-marine-le-pen-exit-poll-a6771876.html Just like UKIP they failed utterly when it actually came down to winning any kind of real power.

walshie 2,804 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 And had nothing to do with the underhandedness of the other parties? If they considered FN the joke you seem to think, they wouldn't have resorted to underhand tactics like that. Democracy my arse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

More people voted for other parties than FN Tactical voting is a thing that happens in democracies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 More people voted for UKIP than SNP. Look where that got them. You can fudge the results by "tactical" (underhand) voting, or you can blur them by using whatever method of counting said votes suits, but you won't change the fact the people just don't feel quite as fluffy and content with their lot as they used to.

The French people have spoken and they've roundly rejected FN, that's all that really matters in a democracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacknife 2,005 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Quite funny someone who supports a party that doesn't get any real vote mocking a party that got millions Like it or not they have a huge support and the main parties will not ignore those people Would there be a EU referendum without Ukip...No 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 The FN were undone by collaboration between the the other 2 main parties. French politicians collaborating ?? Surely not !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

walshie 2,804 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 The more blinkered among us think that just because the right are being artificially stifled in the polls that everything's tickedy-boo. It isn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) The more blinkered among us think that just because the right are being artificially stifled in the polls that everything's tickedy-boo. It isn't. How are they being artificially stifled? More French citizens voted for the other parties than voted for FN, it really is that simple. Was Labour artificially stifled in the polls because of tactical voting by UKIP supporters in LAB/CON marginals? The fact that supporters of the traditional parties were happy to vote for their "rivals" to keep FN out shows the depth of feeling against FN.

JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 All this electio rigging will do is galvanise the rights support while bit by bit people are changing there mind I dont want any right wingers to win yet for real change we need to hit rock bottom and that will happen sooner or later. On anothet note have you seen marine niece who also ran, dear me why cant our right wing politicians look like that! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,844 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Funny enough I do actually agree with BDG on this one....it wasn't rigged....that's democracy... But support of the political right is growing..twenty years ago we wouldn't of expected the votes for ukip etc that we are now getting...let's hope votes continue to grow quicker than left wing voters can be imported! The sad thing is when they change does come it's the decent immigrants who will suffer most. We can only hope and look forward to the day when traitors like BDG meet the traitors end on a rope. :-) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
staffs riffraff 1,068 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 So what happened to this right wing awakening in Europe I heard so much about? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/france-election-results-national-front-national-marine-le-pen-exit-poll-a6771876.html Just like UKIP they failed utterly when it actually came down to winning any kind of real power. so 7 million people denied their democratic choice as the the leftist don't like what the party they represent wants so decide on tactical voting? You call that democracy? I think it will galvanise FN voters and the people leaning to the centre right to vote for FN in next elections Quote Link to post Share on other sites
