Has the Front National benefited electorally from Brexit? It is, of course, too early to say for certain. If Britain thrives outside the European Union, then it might make a vote for the Front National seem less like a leap into the unknown.
During the Brexit referendum, the UK was often called the “canary in the coal mine” (including by Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party). That’s potentially quite a scary place to be for the canary, but eurosceptics in other countries will be watching what happens carefully.
The recent terror attack in Nice, in which a Tunisian man drove a truck into a crowd and killed 84 people, could also sway some French voters. Europe, security, and immigration are all issues that the Front National puts front-and-centre in its campaign strategy.
We need more euroskeptics and referendums. Europe is going the wrong way, towards a totalitarian integration. This is bullshit.
is going bad due to politicians. they accepted.
i want to close borders, for some years.
es, it’s very, very, very uncommon to see a French president with a 14% approval rating, and this is what Hollande has been enduring for many months. And it’s quite difficult to win an election when your presidency has hovered between 14% and 20% approval for so long.
At the same time, Hollande was clear from the beginning that one of the basic ways of judging his mandate will be how the economy is performing after his five years in office. And the economy, for the last 3-5 months, has been doing a little better. The question now is: will the economy improve and unemployment fall in a regular way over the next year?
Brexit won't but terrorist attacks and the actual politicians will. It's getting tensed over here..
