France votes

Second round parliamentary elections in France. Hollande is expected to confirm his majority, which won't please La Merkel too much.

All eyes will be on the Front National, which is expected to get seats in the parliament, and in particular on Marion Maréchal-Le Pen (great name!), the third generation of her family to ..er..serve. Her chances are good, by all accounts.

Let's face it, she doesn't look like the Far right candidate

At a guess, it looks as if Marion Maréchal Le Pen stands the only real prospect of winning a seat for the FN, given that only one opposition candidate will be facing off against her aunt. If this does happen, it will be an interesting result, but neither the 'breakthrough' that the FN will claim nor the 'national shame' that the far-left will assert will be accurate.
