Vote for the European Parliament, French edition.

[Duque de Bragança]

The Frexit Party sounds like it will take votes away from the Le Pen Party

In any case I support the big ears party.

Around 1 percentage point, yes. Since the threshold is at 5 %, it won't change anything.
Valmy supports the conservatives!  Well, not the true counter-revolutionaries but now he has shown girondin tendencies. 

[Duque de Bragança]

As for Captain Haddock/Trotsky (Francis Lalanne), another fun fact:

he had the support of Esther Koiman a.k.a as the '90s pornstar Zara Whites, now an independent Green and vegetarian pasionaria. In an election against Manuel Valls, no less. Only 1% though.j

Well the Girondists were still in charge during Valmy

Not good enough for Jacobins and Fouquier-Tinville, sorry. Need I to remind you that Robespierre was opposed to declaring war? cf. missionnaires armés

Here's a game for Valmy:

https://www.gog.com/game/we_the_revolution

We. The Revolution is a unique game with a singular art style set in the blood-soaked and paranoid world of the French Revolution, where often you could not tell a friend from an enemy. As a judge of the Revolutionary Tribunal, you will have to trudge through this setting passing sentences, playing a dangerous political game, and doing everything in your power to not to be guillotined as an enemy of revolution. At the end of a day you will also confront your decisions with your family and very often they will see it differently.

The plot of We. The Revolution will put you in morally ambiguous situations in which there are no obvious solutions, and the decisions you make are never unambiguous. The power over human life and death is a heavy burden, responsibility and strength that can affect the fate of the revolution. keep that in mind each time when passing sentence in the courtroom, while assigning tasks to your agents, giving speeches, and weaving political intrigue behind the scenes. Addressed chiefly to players who enjoy to settle moral dilemmas, make complex personal choices, and immerse themselves in the world of sophisticated political intrigue.

Oh. My. Culte de la Raison.

He was right. The war sowed the seeds of counter-revolution.

Of course without the war it would have been much harder to execute Citizen Capet for treason.

Which then opens the Marie-Antoinette question...

If you are too lazy to check the other thread, or perhaps want do discuss the specifics of French European elections.



The Greens are third, biggest surprise. However, the second on their list, Michèle Rivasi is a well-known anti-vaxxer, who claims to be merely "vaccine-critic" and anti "Big Pharma". 
She organised for instance a screening of Andrew Wakefield's Vaxxed in Brussels. Tried to screen it at the European parliament but was prevented to do so. That was too much, even if paid by European taxpayer money.
Anti-vaccine rhetoric was toned down during the campaign but now it's party time!

"Vaccines create more problems than they solve" on her blog. Conveniently removed some time after, of course.

As always, Languish does not agree with the French electorate.
