I don't know about that. Would be fun to watch the neolib press having to hold their nose and support Royal over Le Pen. I think I would enjoy that very much!

Re: Hope? (4.00 / 3)

Maybe they won't. They will find "evidence" that Le Pen has "moderated" his discourse and is now "acceptable", like Gianfranco Fini, Joerg Haider, Pia Kjaersgaard or the Kaczinsky twins.

Re: Hope? (none / 0)

Even better! Let the slimy bastards show everyone who they really are. Let them get out there and state that the xenophobic right is better than the left. Who will really buy the "moderation" line? My bet is not enough to get Le Pen the win...
