we all thought alain juppe would win. that's what the polls were telling us. fillon who won, and nobody predicted that. francois fillon, now leading the polls, is a man of bracingly right—wing views. he may well cast doubt on marine le pen‘s values, or even suggest she's not so different from her father. her battle for power won't be easy. she is suddenly looking not as the newcomer, as she would hope, but somebody who has tried again and again to be elected, while francois fillon was prime minister for five years and is now the favourite, the newcomer. she didn't expect him to win the primary. so this is a new battle for her and it is dangerous for her strategy. mobilising people against an establishment candidate will still provide le pen with plenty of options, and the success of her messages on border controls and leaving the single currency may yet produce in france a huge challenge to the european project. joining me now are benedicte paviot, the uk correspondent for france 2a, and philippe marliere, professor of french and european politics at universit
