Some quotations in case the article is behind a paywall:
"Le Pen has a fair chance of scooping up the neglected constituency of the old left, and that could swing the final outcome on April 24. Her economic agenda is a celebration of the welfare state and the French social model.
She backed the protest of trade unions against the reform of the pension system in 2019, and again last year over the weakening of unemployment protection, describing President Macron’s policies as “shameful, economically stupid, inhumane, and unjust”.
Her plan is a mix of Keynesian big spending and redistribution towards the working poor and young families, those suffering an erosion of real living standards long before commodity inflation hit them with a hammer blow.
She has married left-wing economics with law-and-order nationalism to make a very potent political brew. "
"Le Pen has been turning her party into a statist, anti-globalist, defender of the Modèle Français ever since taking charge in 2011"
"Le Pen has not abandoned her right-wing policies on immigration, nor her defence of France’s cultural terroir. She remains a nationalist to the core, and an implacable foe of Jean Monnet’s European project. She will endeavour to undermine the primacy of EU law and the hegemony of the Commission from within.
One might argue that her agenda smacks of national socialism, but there is no mileage in trying to evoke loose parallels with the 1930s. Le Pen is competing at the ballot box and under the rule of law. Nobody suggests that she plans a 1933 Enabling Act or a French police state once inside the Élysée Palace.
Her ideological enemies are Anglo-Saxon globalist capitalism and the EU superstate in equal measure.

Even the Telegraph sees MLP as a National Socialist!

I did it and came up with someone who won't win, but then I expected that.
There was a similar one in LeFigaro but the questions were a little different.

Why Norman you excel yourself! Not a link to be seen! A whole sentence without one! I know it's a strain and Google is so much easier than thinking isn't it? Anyway, a start perhaps difficult though it is for the cerebral bits to actually work!! Perhaps 5 for effort!
You prove my point. ?

Your posts serve no useful purpose except to perpetuate your delusions of the importance of Windbag Wheatley's unsubstantiated assertions. When useful information is needed a link to the relevant authority is useful; but when that is called for you fall back on uninformed ignorance.

That is the one I was referring to.

Don't expect Ken to read a link! He only wants to express his opinions...

If you want to know what MLP's manifesto and policies are use this link. It's her official plan without journalistic spin. Remember, scribblers always try to influence your opinion with their opinion.
I read her plan before the last, election, there was nothing that could be described as remotely extreme about it.

But if she wins it will be with the support of Zemmour and his supporters, who will form part of her government. His campaign was there to draw the fire away from her, making her seen relatively only mildly fascist, but that would come roaring rabidly back were she to get in. Remember too that her 'programme' is populist in that it promises social benefits (which would ruin the economy) for nationals... a true Nationam Socialsm

Possibly the fact that the old pink paper license was for life rather than being subject to a health check or a retest at 70 led to the problem?

I find it unbelievable from my experience of les Urgences that a child with a head injury 'drifting in and out of conciousness' would not have gone to the front of the queue, let alone wait 5 hours.

I am, or would be, but she has zero chance; well less than Macron, Le Pen, Mélenchon, Zemmour. April 10 I will vote for my preferred candidate (who will not make it to April 24) and then for 'ABC' (the equivalent to UK Any But Conservative').
I would prefer Nathalie Arthaud to Hidalgo, but as you say neither of them will make it. I would have preferred Taubira to either of those but she was seen off by the machinations of the other partes.

I suspect that Zemmour is there to drain the pus from the from the abscess on French politics that the extreme right represents, (but only in appearance) and make MLP seem almost reasonable; but once he is eliminated they will all flock back behind her for the second round.
I have a feeling she might win, as has already happened in Béziers with our Maire.

You can filter them down to any pair or more of candidates.
