Here's an interesting Q. from Stanley Pignal (at the other place):
'I think the big question in France today is this: does the "front republicain" (ie vote for anyone except Le Pen) gain in strength every time it is used, or is it a tactic that gets exhausted and only works for so long.
Decisive for 2027 and I don't think anyone knows the answer'!
Indeed; the key Q. for the next election in France!
