    Indeed, so the First Round is a better guage of how the French are thinking.

    21.3% voted Le Pen in the first round. Compare that to 12.7% voting UKIP in the UK in GE2015 and yet 52% support for leaving the EU.

    There are the pro-EU who see this as a good thing! More EU is not the answer, it will only guide fence sitters towards the extreme candidates.

          Don't forget Melenchon who got 19% and was anti EU and globalisation.

            you mean we shouldn't employ cheap imports like we have for decades?

                These companies operate in a global market, if there are jobs are on offer with low pay, that's because the company is sh*te, simply taking people out of the market won't change that, the company will simply close or move.

                It's called "productivity".
