[Politics] French presidential election 2022

[LamieRobertson]

Every eliminated candidate has come out in favour of Macron in the play off final.

Hopefully he will bury LePenn.

I have no love for Macron, but, like politics in this country most of the time, it’s pick the least worse.

I think Likewise

 

[Is it PotG?]

Macron is a shifty little fecker.

 

[lawros left foot]

Macron is a shifty little fecker.

And LePenn isn’t?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Macron is a shifty little fecker.

There speaks the voice of the unashamed new far right.

It's not like you're even one of the ones that thinks The Enlightenment is an indie band from Congleton.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Macron is a shifty little fecker.

Do you prefer Le Pen?

Bravo Sir, Bravo.

[Is it PotG?]

Do you prefer Le Pen?

Nope, not at all.
Is 'neither' an option?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Nope, not at all.
Is 'neither' an option?

Of course. If only you'd said that instead of attacking one horse in a two horse race.

The best way to afford a suit is to work - Emmanuel Macron

It's the only option, unless you're French, mon ami.

If you had a vote, would you cast it for Macron to help keep Le Pen out, or do you see them as equally bad and abstain?

Rather that than a far right bigot IMHO

You disagree with that? It makes perfect sense to me

If he said it, of course.

And of course there is the context, which you don't capture in what I assume is a quote.

"Let them eat cake" is a perfectly acceptable quote at a dinner party, after all

Vote against the fascists. Not a fan of the far-right, very disturbing to see their rise against a backdrop of poverty and crisis. Sounds familiar no?

Did Macron say THAT? I thought it was that Marie woman with the big hair?

Je m'en fous.

I've got more domestic issues on my agenda.

No problem, they give blowjobs to the same people, laugh at regular people in the same lodge, and the winner was decided years ago by those with real power. Like everywhere.

Well, exactly H.

Meanwhile, here's Le Pen.

"For those who want to talk a lot about World War II, if it's about occupation, then we could also talk about it (Muslim prayers in the streets), because that is occupation of territory. It is an occupation of sections of the territory, of districts in which religious laws apply. It's an occupation. There are of course no tanks, there are no soldiers, but it is nevertheless an occupation and it weighs heavily on local residents".

I guess the Muzzies wouldn't keep the Parisian cafes the way that Hitler did when the French surrendered in WW2 though. If you're going to be occupied it wouldn't be right to lose your Cassoulet and Premier Cru.

I'd be interested to read PotG's views. The views of the rest of the civilised world (NSC's resident Fairy naziboy isn't part of that world, just in case he rocks up like a bad smell to comment apocryphally, as is his want) are not in doubt.

Come on PotG - explain how Macron and Le Pen are equivalent. Let's not have you backing away in time honoured fashion, pretending you haven't said anything remotely contestable

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Backing off in time honoured fashion as I expected. Pathetic.

Poor, very poor .
I'd expect a lot more 'H'.
Personal insults are surely beyond someone of your stature.
