2017 French Presidential Election

It seems she really meant it in the sense that the REAL French government was in exile at the time, but it is stupid for a candidate who is accused of having ties or sympathies to neo-Nazis to dabble in holocaust denial like this. Granted she was never going to win a second round but this could put her first round chances in doubt as well

A melenchon v panzergirl run off would be pretty much the end of the fifth republic as I see it.

Actually I would think Melanchon(and Le Pen to a certain extent) would be similar to Mitterand in that they would be forced to shed some of their more radical policies if elected once reality sets in

I would Imagine a Le Pen/Fillon Runoff would probably have record-setting low turnout?
