I did not see that coming (Mélenchon), interesting development.

Isn't Francois Hollande already basically centre-left? It's not that great a jump. France has certainly socialist policies, strong labour unions and progressive taxation. It's still an abhorrent country though.

I don't follow French politics, but from what I gather he is a lot more leftwing. He has very radical ideas like even becoming allies with Venezuela and stuff. If he or Le Pen win there will be a big shift. The other likely winners are all establishment.

I hope anyone but Le Pen wins

If she wins I am going to buy big ass put options on the euro and make a quick 10x killing.

Wouldn't you need to buy the options before she wins because as soon as it's anounced she's president the euro will dive faster than a WWII Spitfire?

 

[Striker]

Oh no. If she wins a lot of Muslim and Algerians will migrate to Switzerland.

Switzerland is already full of immigrant.

There are long term ones that move very fast, especially during political crises. And there's a bunch of other strategies. Anyhow, the euro will go to .70 US [cents] (over a few weeks) if she wins.

She is a civic nationalist, not a racialist. Most of the French Muslims will just put up with her and not move. Also, only a small part of Switzerland use French. Most of the country is German and they won't be able to find work there. The French part of Belgium sucks, so they won't go there either.

I am from the French part of Switzerland. But I am sure she is a nationalist and pretty much anti immigrant.

So far the swiss French is very nice and most Somalis and Muslims are hard worker but Algerians are very annoying people and will ruin the image of Muslims in Switzerland.

The way you generalize Algerians, is how cadaans generalize Somalis and Muslims...

 

[Apollo]

He is still within the margin of error. Shit gonna be interesting if he makes it to the second round.

 

[LittleNileRiver]

Don't underestimate the silent Le Pen supporters!

I thought most Somalis in Switzerland lived in Bern.
