That Algeria war comment probably hasnt helped (he called it a crime against humanity, not exactly the kind of thing that gets votes on the right, or the left for that matter)

Heh, the one time the dude actually speaks the truth he gets called out on it. That spineless grub even apologized for it. :laffo:

In a normal climate I would think that a politician would be done if they were being investigated, but I suspect this will get Le Pen more support.

Pretty much. What really irks me is that Marine le Pen's track record is at the very least as shady as Fillon's. It's well documented at this point that she and her team have like half a dozen people on the EU and French Gvt payroll that are just family, friends or relatives and do little to none of the work they're supposed to. It's just not being covered as much by the media for whatever reason.

In other news, Hamon and Mélenchon were having diner a few days ago to agree that sinking the left's chances this election was for the best. They will both stay in the race and split the vote despite their platforms being virtually identical on many points. The good news is that they get to claim they didn't betray their values and supporters. The bad news is we're rapidly heading toward a fascist state I guess. :v:
