    It's cute that for left, it's either left or far left. But for right, it's just center-right or far right 😑

    Anything right of centre is "far right", but the media never refer to a party as "far left" no matter how left leaning it is.

    Le Pen may or may not be what France needs, but Macron is definitely what Europe needs right now. I agree that we need to drastically reduce immigration, but right wingers are bad at every other aspects of politics, so it's hardly worth the trade. And to think that so many of these nationalist movements are directly boosted by Putin makes me sick.
