There is actually (only) a Trotskyite, but not the one you pointed out.
But he's wearing the hat.
A döner/kebab to be precise. According to him, that's edgy. But then he did not like Brest because there was too many whites there.
Less charitable souls told him to have a saucisson (dry cured sausage) and wine in Raqqa.
Not good enough, only a fashion statement, the yellow vest is more important nowadays.
If by alienated youth, you mean leftist, both pro-Putin and both pro-islam/immigration (quite the combination!) then by all means. :)
Not truely anti-European but willing some radical changes, à la Die Linke in Germany.
The bearded one, is a harmless loon, unless you count his singing, never linked to the FN. As for the cyclops, he gave a leftist slant to the FN not so long ago but quit. Homosexual who was outed by some self-proclaimed anti-fascists.
Benny Hill is pretty much a disaster, so Jupiter had to show up in the campaign. There was also a small scandal when it was revealed she was in a far right student list some 30 years ago.
Yep, as I mentioned to Oex.
I have the same hat!
Don't you think it was time you gave it back to that French politician then? :yeahright:
Around 1 percentage point, yes. Since the threshold is at 5 %, it won't change anything.
Valmy supports the conservatives! :D Well, not the true counter-revolutionaries but now he has shown girondin tendencies. :P
Well the Girondists were still in charge during Valmy :hmm: :ph34r:
Not good enough for Jacobins and Fouquier-Tinville, sorry. Need I to remind you that Robespierre was opposed to declaring war? cf. missionnaires armés
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. :hmm:

That one was easy, but it's really RN (not Route Nationale) now. Marine, in one of her brilliant ideas, changed the name of the party.
Very popular among the youth actually, their youth wing is quite famous for being more radical than the main party.
PS: hideous colours reminding of the darkest time in our history, the '90s and Eurodance.
