In general, the referendum did not live up to Council of Europe standards. The legal framework was inadequate for the holding of a genuinely democratic process We observed the misuse of state resources, as well as the obstruction of 'no' campaign events. The campaign rhetoric was tarnished by some senior officials equating 'no' supporters with terrorist sympathizers http://www.dw.com/en/osce-turkey-referendum-contested-on-an-unlevel-playing-field/a-38453816 | ||

It's not only "leftists" who object Le Pen but everyone with an atom of decency, from the far left to the right. Who is Gollard and what are you talking about by the way? Are you talking about Sputnik, Russia Today and fdesouche (our Breitbart with a but less of intellectual integrity) claiming that Gilbert Collard was thrown cocktail Molotovs without any proof, any police official backing their claim? Cause they are the only three medias that relayed the "information". Before treating people of "animals", check your fucking sources. | ||

Does she think she can get more power based on the assumption that every Brexiteer has to vote for her, or what is her plan behind this? At current polling levels she wipes out the opposition and gets +100 seats. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/general/419575-uk-politics-mega-thread?page=315 Apparently she is expected to win a lot of seats for her party this way because the opposition is splintered and the UK has a shitty FPTP system. | ||

There is virtually no left wing terrorism in France, so calm down. We haven't had a left terrorist attack of any significance for decades. It does look like an antifa idiot did throw a Molotov even though I wait for the police to confirm and they haven't. Didn't make any damage. Now if you want to insult half the country based on fantasies, feel free. Antifas are not the left, and they are not even terrorists. A few years ago a far right idiot called Maxime Brunerie "tried" to assassinate Chirac with a hunting rifle, a much more serious case. I guess that makes all FN sympathizers terrorist animals, right? In fact even judges decided he was just a moron and not big of a threat and gave him a very light sentence. Fact is, there is virtually no far right terrorism in France either, and just like this Molotov, it was one of those rare, isolated cases. So tone the fuck down. | ||

Last year there was a major anti-PiS protest in Poland (Warsaw), allegedly attended by over 240k people (as claimed by deputy mayor of Warsaw). This later on turned out to be a blatant lie. According to the police, the demonstration numbered roughly 45k (as reported by TVN, a mainstream TV network sympathizing with the opposition); according to TVP (public TV network, favoring PiS) roughly the same number of people attended the march. Gazeta.pl (news website associated with Gazeta Wyborcza, one of the most popular dailies in Poland, siding with PO, Nowoczesna and KOD) counted the people attending almost one by one and arrived at a number in the 55-65k range. + Show Spoiler + My own estimates, based on the footage provided by Gazeta.pl are between 45k and 65k. You can watch the video (with a time stamp) yourself: http://pikio.pl/najlepsze-nagranie-video/ I know that mainstream media in France usually reported the 240k number: http://www.france24.com/fr/20160507-pologne-manifestation-record-varsovie-preserver-place-europe http://www.liberation.fr/planete/2016/05/07/a-varsovie-une-manifestation-record-contre-le-gouvernement-polonais_1451144 http://www.lemonde.fr/europe/article/2016/05/07/en-pologne-manifestation-monstre-en-faveur-de-l-europe_4915408_3214.html Did they ever bother to rectify this false information? | ||

I doubt SoSexy wants or meant that but seeing/generalising your opposition into (worthless) animals is a really bad sign. | ||
