Whatever happened to Marine Le Pens neice. She's a bit of a hottie and apparently more conservative than Auntie... Def my vote for future of the party.
Marion is too independent-minded and provocative to be groomed as Marine’s successor as a party leader in the National Rally (RN). Marine TIGHTLY controls the script and ideological parameters of party spokespeople to maximize political success for the party within the French system. Marine, to her credit, has built the party up from a marginal factor in French politics to a major player. Bardella is a much more disciplined leader for the party moving forward. Marine has gone through several lieutenants: Julien Rochedy (hard conservative), Florian Philippot (moderate, but more anti-EU than Marine), and Marion (who broke with the party to officially support Eric Zemmour).
Only Florian Philippot can save the frenchies, all the rest are hypocrites. Florian Philippot is Pro Trump(check his youtube channel), anti war and want to make peace with Russia.
Florian Philippot is great, all of those people I listed are. MLP has to tiptoe around the issue of the EU and Ukraine though because the French are so skittish on those subjects. The euro is a third rail issue in France, and it was the issue that caused the rift between MLP and Philippot
Who would want to trust a woman who betrayed her father by expelling him from the party he founded in order to be accepted by politicians who spat on them for years. Worst of all, she did it all for nothing. Her father died on 7 January 2025 and until then he fought against the deep state.
btw Rochedy is dumb AF.
Interesting comment. They all have their own baggage, as all politicians do. I agree with you about Philippot, who had the most sensible and pragmatic perspective of all of them, although he had a penchant for surrounding himself with vacuous pretty boys, which became the flash point when he outmaneuvered Rochedy during their rivalry to become MLP’s chief lieutenant. Rochedy at least used that as an excuse to leave the party leadership, complaining about the infiltration of the party by gay activists (like Philippot), which was definitely true when the party was expanding. This is not too unlike a lot of the ideological disputes between conservatives and libertarians in the Republican Party in the U.S. Direct appeals were made by the Front National to conservative-minded gays in France, and the press was widely commenting on the surprising popularity of the party to French homosexuals. This was a genuine point of contention inside the party. I wouldn’t say Rochedy is dumb, but he lacked the tactical intelligence and vision to grow the party. I think Marion Marechal-Le Pen and Rochedy are similar, both are very ideologically conservative and closer to Jean-Marie Le Pen in their love of risky provocation. And both are shortsighted purists. As in America right now, the French youth are markedly more conservative than the older generations, but the trouble is building a big tent. MLP and Philippot are the only ones who had that ability. I can’t fault MLP for distancing herself from her father, who always shot himself in the foot and sabotaged her by saying stupid, useless shit and never shutting up about the Holocaust. He couldn’t resist putting his foot in his mouth, and it became tiresome and counterproductive. He wanted to build a small-time boomer party for veterans of the Algerian War to sit around and reminisce and say shocking things, whereas Marine built a party that is a national force in France. The politics is interesting, and there is a lot of family drama…
Unfortunately this is nothing to get excited about. If Bardella is at 36% that means 64% of the vote is against him. Without seeing the polls I’m doubtful there are enough votes on the right to put him over the top in the second round.
My impression of how French Presidential Elections work is the globalists hope an “extreme” right candidate makes it to the second round, with about 35% of the vote. The vast majority of the 65% who voted for someone else are to the left if the RN. Then in the second round the globalists feel confident they can sufficiently demonize the right to consolidate a winning margin.
If the RN candidate isn't polling in the mid 40’s, I don’t think there is a sufficient amount of people voting for other parties on the right to win the second round.
LOL You really didn't get it, it's their plan to replace Lepen with Bardella because he's even more stupid than she is, but above all he's more controllable. And for the last time, Lepin is pro-Europe, pro-Ukraine and therefore pro-war.
Until all on the right start getting arrested en masse. Then the desired effect, demoralization, will commence, and the right will meekly and completely back down and crawl into a dark alley to die.

How cucked do French have to be to not vote hard right?
Guess Charles Martel defended Tours for nothing now.
So true!
I do not think ANYONE has free and fair elections or polls.
True but if the polling is off and the support for Bardella exceeds 36% then it becomes much harder for the globalists to navigate.
I hope so, but this is exactly what happened to Marine Le Pen the last two elections.
LOL You really didn't get it, it's their plan to replace Lepen with Bardella because he's even more stupid than she is, but above all he's more controllable. And for the last time, Lepin is pro-Europe, pro-Ukraine and therefore pro-war.
Just like the Trump indictments. They’re so stupid.
