The niece of Marine Le Pen won her first election at the age of 22 and trounced a former prime minister, Alain Juppe, in a televised debate.
She is the new girl wonder of the French far right, a glamorous 25-year-old poised to break down many mainstream conservatives’ qualms about casting their vote for the Front National.
Since she was elected the youngest MP in French parliamentary history, aged 22 three years ago, while a second year Sorbonne law student, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, niece of Front President Marine and grand-daughter of its obstreperous founder Jean-Marie, has had the fastest learning curve in French politics since Bonaparte’s.
On Sunday, buoyed by the shock of the Nov 13 Islamic shootings in Paris, the list she heads is widely expected to come in first in the Provence-Côte d’Azur region, with polls giving her some 40 per cent of the vote.

FINALLY! A girl who gets it! Ya might know she’d turn out to be French....
Stating the obvious now makes you Wonder Girl.
Haven’t seen a comment from Laz on this yet. :>)
Huey Long was as Left as it gets.
My gosh, in ideology and looks she is light years ahead of grandma Merkel. Obama would definitely take a selfie with her at a funeral.
Why do they keep calling ‘far right’. From what I can tell she is a pretty common sense republican.

Which one are you.... NEAR SIGHTED... or.... FAR SIGHTED?
Just read up on Huey Long, looks like he needed shooting.
Sadly, it’ll take armed conflict to right the ship.
In the European political world, that is far right LOL
