"That Le Pen bloke"

I'm not much of a political activist, but you can't help noticing the coverga surrounding the French election. If you haven't got a tele, then basically some French bloke who no-one ever expected to get anywhere and is near the end of his political carrer is doing quite well - he might even win. Fair enough I thought to myself, it's an election, people have the right to vote for who they want. So why all the fuss? I think this is why:

From the BBC NEWS website - Le Pen's goals:
Abolition of European Commission and Maastricht treaty
Revival of the franc, alongside euro
Re-creation of trade barriers with EU countries
Separation of French families' funds from those of foreigners
Ban on building of mosques in France
Reintroduction of the death penalty

Errr...ok...seperation of foreigners funds...ban on building mosques...this guy has a major bug up his a**e. Check it out for yourself on any news site anywhere.

His main following is based on National Front activists and he his one of the most despised politicians in Europe. Nice bloke !
