Im pretty sure SBS had live covreige of this, this morning via France 24 English version.

Quite scary though that the party received its highest vote ever.

Just goes to show that since Trump right wing extremists have been on the rise around the world. Idiots and unwashed Neanderthals who are a useless plight on society.

This Le Pen woman wants to ban the hijab because she thinks Muslims and immigrants are threatening her vision of the French identity. Then all those grubby links with the Russian banks and Vladimir Putin. Spare me with this load of rubbish.

What is your opinion on whether they would be good or bad for the country?

Admittedly, if Marcos Jr does win the presidency - he would be definitely milder and more ‘presidential’ than his predecessor Rodrigo Duterte. That does not distract from the fact his father’s legacy caused so much pain for the country, and yet the masses there have fallen for their propaganda. It’s not a good look on the world stage.
