Marine Le Pen, the far-Right leader of the Front National, “can win” France’s presidency next year, the country’s shell-shocked mainstream Right predicted on Wednesday, amid warnings that Donald Trump’s surprise triumph has thrown all political certainty into doubt.

The tumultuous result came as Ms Le Pen described the outcome as “good news for our country”.

Current polls suggest that the FN leader will come top in next spring’s first round of presidential elections in France only to be comfortably beaten by a mainstream Right candidate, whoever that may be following party primaries held later this month.

We need her to win.

And someone in Germany to undo the damage.

Set up a Safe Zone in the Middle East. Repatriate ALL of the ‘refugees.’

If I were an editorial cartoonist, I’d create a sketch of dominoes with Brexit, Trump as the first two and France next.

Islam has been turned back! Hillary = Merkel(who allowed Millions of Muslims into Germany who are now destroying Germany)

President Trump has just saved America ,freedom, and western civilization.

President Trump saved America from communist Hillary, Amnesty socialism, massive Muslim immigration, etc. that would have been imminent with her election.

People have no idea the bullet America dodged. Hillary Clinton is a hard core communist who would have given amnesty to illegals and invited a massive Muslim invasion, socialism ,3rd world banana socialist hell hole etc. etc. etc.

“That means that the main news for us French is that Marine Le Pen can win in France. That means that extreme populism can win. That means that Ms Le Pen, with simple answers, can win in France,” he warned.

LOL. God forbid that "simple answers" can win a campaign!

The European press...even the Telegraph...loves to use “far right”.Anyone who believes in national borders (just to use one example) is “far right” to them.

We dogged the bullet this time. But the liberal crackpot with the gun is still out there. We need to continue to be vigilant.

No; her governmental outlook is too much like Hollande’s, frankly.

"Today, the establishment is in deep shock. Even more so than after Brexit."

"What we are witnessing is the end of a period of big business and big politics controlling our lives.

Voters across the Western world want nation state democracy, proper border controls and to be in charge of their own lives."

"I commend Donald Trump for the courage with which he has fought this campaign and I look forward to a closer relationship between the USA and the UK.

"We now have a President who likes our country and understands our post- Brexit values."

"Prepare for further political shocks in the years to come."

-- Nigel Farage, UK Brexit Leader, on Trump Victory

Couldn't have said it better.

People around the world are beginning to feel their power. We don’t have to accept globalism.

Western Europe needs to know that Conservativism is not crazy. Socialism is stealing and sooner or later - as Mrs. Thatcher said, they’ll run out of other people’s money.

At least the end of the euro currency.

In any case I vote for Le Pen in 2017 :)
