[Mackin USA]

MARINE LE PEN has dealt a crippling blow to the European Union by promising she will hold a referendum to decide whether France remains in the Union if she becomes president.

No big surprise.  If she gets in that would not be good.

In some ways the surprise it has taken her so long.

Thanks for pointing that out!!!!  We ought to be spotting those first on this side of the pond.

The Front National is a nationalist party... I always assumed that if either Le Pen got elected, they would try to step out of the EU.

The father would perhaps have tried a reunification with Nazi Germany, which is what forced the daughter to step away from him (kick him out of the party actually), but it's still the Front National.
