There’s a saying in France: “Paris is not France” and the election results prove that.

Le Pen’s anti-immigration Party won all Departments EXCEPT Paris, which is populated by foreigners and liberals.

: France’s special election in a few weeks continues to have more twists and turns than anyone expected. Here are some highlights:

The left-wing parties, including those on the fringe, have united in a new party called The Popular Front. They’re promising to “de-Nazify France” and vowed to have “unlimited immigration.” The only left-wing party to oppose the unity ticket is a small party called Volt.

Former French President François Hollande announced he’s running for the National Assembly as a member of the Popular Front. This would be like George W. Bush announcing he was running for the House.

As I wrote in my last substack, Eric Ciotti, the President of the center-right Republicans, endorsed a coalition with Marine Le Pen’s National Rally. Elected members of his party opposed the measure and attempted to remove him from his position. A French court ruled that Ciotti’s expulsion was invalid.

Marion Marchel, Marine’s niece who belongs to Zemmour’s Reconquest party, offered to create an alliance with National Rally in exchange for 60 seats. The offer was rejected, but she decided to join the National Rally anyway and was kicked out of Reconquest by Zemmour. Of the five people recently elected to the EU Parliament from Reconquest, four have been kicked out. The only one left is Zemmour’s former mistress.

Nicolas Dupont-Aignan of the small right-wing Dupont la France Party has called for a unity ticket. He’s pulling his candidates out of nearly every race to support the National Rally.

"Len Pen's Land"

The final opinion polls before the French election have been released, and Le Pen's National Rally is in a strong lead.

They are by far the largest party in the polls, leading with roughly 37% of the vote.

But more significantly, Le Pen's party has shown as winning a majority of seats in several of the latest polls.

This would make National Rally the first Nationalist party of any description to take power in Western Europe.

Le Pen is already preparing to challenge the established order of the Republic. Wanting to take the foreign policy and defence remits traditionally reserved for the president for herself.

Madame Le Pen has also said she wants to take any budgetary authority the president has traditionally exercised and make use of it herself.

While Jordan Bardella, Le Pen's pick for Prime Minister, has said he will not allow French troops near active conflict zones such as Ukraine or Israel.

Madame Le Pen and Jordan Bardella will have much to prove once they get into office. Will they govern for the benefit of the native French?

Will they slow and reverse the Great Replacement? Abandon neoliberal economics? Push for fundamental Reform of the European Union?

It remains to be seen, but if they are the first nationalists to win a majority they have a great responsibility to prove the viability of their ideas.

When Rollant sees those misbegotten men,
Who are more black than ink is on the pen

With no part white, only their teeth except,
Then says that count: "I know now very well

That here to die we're bound, as I can tell.
Strike on, the Franks! For so I recommend."

Says Oliver: "Who holds back, is condemned!"
Upon those words, the Franks to strike again.
