First Wilders, Now Le Pen. The Centre Has Held in Europe Again
A great sigh of relief was hard through Europe when Dutch right winger, Geert Wilders, fell short in the March election, coming in 2nd, handing his party 20 seats in the Netherlands' 150-seat legislature. 13 Dutch parties won seats in that election.
A closer contest was expected in today's French run-off election. When it was all over the French right winger, Marine Le Pen, was handed a decisive defeat by centrist Emmanuel Macron who won over 65% of the vote.
Both right wingers were warmly greeted by America's right winger, Donald Trump.

Trump's touch seems like typhoid. Hopefully Republicans will have caught it by 2018.
Amazing , do you people think that it is going a way , the same condition that allow right winger reach so close are now intencify , the next time ( i give it 5-10 y) it well be someone who will not play by the game role like le pan , but false flage ops and youth militia
Anon, who said anything about this going away, other than you that is? Try not to get overheated.
Collective sigh of relief? ... not so fast there Poindexter (pointing at myself)
Le Pen got 35% - an all time high for the extreme r.w. in France
That'd almost buy you a majority gov. in our quaint land.
Yes anon the idiot right will be around but weakened. The new order has been humiliated in Austria, in the Netherlands, today in France and Germany. Even in Britain , UKIP has dissapeared as they are afraid to face their own sillyness.
The next time these right wing dorks try, the electorate will have been vacinated: been there, done that, got the Tshirt, forget the racist rantings .
The 'centre' still remains far to the right than it was twenty years ago.
A win like this fools the masses that Hillary Clinton a 'Democrat' is left leaning and that Tony Blair and 'New Labour' are somewhat socialist.
Lets not forget the middle of the road Canadian 'Liberals'!!
The only victory in France is that we did not get a holocaust revisionist.
Brexit almost gave us the same with Farage ; indeed Brexit, for the UK, comes as close to authoritarian rule than Trump does.
How soon we forget, how easily we are fooled.
TB
That's a hell of a choice: a second-generation pimp for bigotry or a juvenile libertarian from the investment banking prep school.
Trump should show the parasites in France how to put it all together in one package. Or maybe they could teach the Repugs a thing or two about deceptive marketing through contrived product differentiation. In any case, Pence should be relieved.
For the moment, the disease may have gone into remission.
And how do the Brexiteers respond? Perfectly for a drunken clown about to engage in negotiation with the circus owners.

@ Deacon - yeah, I read that. The Brexit/UKIP crowd are the right wing thugs we knew them to be.
The Centre* Has Held in Europe Again.
*Financed by banksters and run to ensure their stranglehold on democracy continues unabated and generate profits. Profits for them only...
A..non
You just can't get past that bankster fixation, can you A..non? And that stranglehold on democracy is a giggle. You would sooner trust democracy to an utter fascist. Nice, A..non, very nice.
I do not trust a "democracy" created and run by banksters. Like Macron.
And you should not giggle at them too. Those bastards did not get that powerful by being stupid. They sic clueless leftist like you on national movements (they might even plant some fascists here & there)
and say you have no choice but to vote for us, "THE" center...
A..non
