france normally comes together behind the candidate who isn't the national front candidate, le pen, althoughens is a question, partly because some other candidates, although noticeably not hamon, part in some ways looking to legitimise the concerns of the national front, so instead of being the outlier of politics and saying the outlier of politics and saying the unsayable, thinking the... etc, they are saying similar things, so whether it gives her a boost in the second round and prevent voters sort off, effectively ganging up against her will be a question for the electorate. what she wants, one of the election issues, is leaving the eurozone. it is interesting, in the telegraph, juergen stark, on the ecb executive board, saying maybe the project isn't the best thing, you know, as we believed when it was launched, the single currency. this is the consequence of european politics as a whole, isn't it, whether it is the future of the eu itself or the single currency. everybody involved is trying to look for ways to strengthen, redesign, reshaped, to prevent countries from leaving voluntarily

"look at ukip, look at brexit, look at trump in america". "it is perfectly normal to vote for me, i'm just a politician, except that i'm different from the others". le pen‘s platform unveiled during recent days has a take back control feel to it, restoring sovereignty of the economy, she says, being more protectionist of the territory of france itself, imposing permanent border controls, and of monetary policy, reintroducing the franc, albeit pegged to wider european currencies in a kind of new exchange rate mechanism, a more moderate message than some of her re
