  3.  @josephnye3088  Fair enough, I assumed France had some sort of PR. I thought it was like preference voting. It actually looks worse than FPTP because it allows this kind of manipulation. It's harder for us because we only have opinion polls to go on, not first round results. Time for real PR in France I think too.

  5.  @therichardbatt  Typical Globalist fix. They prefer far left Globalists to centre right Nationalists.

  6.  @josephnye3088  It's supposed to be a form of proportional representation. But it's no better than British First Past the Post.
