Although this thread does not function under the same strict guidelines as the USPMT, it is still a general practice on TL to provide a source with an explanation on why it is relevant and what purpose it adds to the discussion. Failure to do so will result in a mod action.

It's difficult probably, but it's a necessary step. Uncontrolled immigration from countries which don't share EU principles and democracy is highly undesirable in my opinion. Also, calling economic migrants "refugees" is such a stupid concept that only left wing can come up with it. Sure, Syrians aren't economic migrants, but they're not the only ones that the EU calls refugees. E.g. Afghanistan, Iran, etc.

That news about NGO is exploding in Italy. I suppose it will become a big topic in the next days. Let's hope something good comes out of it - the situation is out of control.

Then pay it for yourself. It's always the same bullshit, when it's something I care for like free education, health care, pensions etc. right-wingers want to liberalize it, when it's something they care for like more law and order bullshit they want to keep it in state hand and increase spending and then tell me it's in my best interest. No it's not. I don't give a fuck about terrorism that causes less casualities than free roaming cows and I don't give a fuck about whether people run into a church or a mosque.

Uh, they actually have some vigilantes doing border patrols in eastern Europe. I think it's safe to say you don't really want more of that.

If you're working, chances are you're paying for Bulgaria's wall and border control. The EU is giving some funds to my country to help. The reason is migrants are going through Turkey and Turkey is a neighbour of Bulgaria. I'm actually happy to pay for wall as part of my taxes, and because I pay taxes, I'm probably doing so already.

You might not care about terrorism, but I care. Many people do. Stop betraying your country. I know you have a nazi past as a country, but letting refugees en masse won't give you redemption (just in case Germany and Austria do it for that reason).

If their quotas were flawless we could just skip the election altogether.

I don't think that's the point. The point is that polls were pretty accurate about the FN's score at the 2014 European elections, and that they actually overestimated the FN's score at the 2015 élections départementales ("county-level elections", I guess ?). Thus if there's a flaw in their quotas concerning the FN, it's most likely not in favor of not reaching the FN's voters.


Does the FN vote share even matter, I think Le Pen has enough of a lead to get to the final 2 short of a polling disaster, the contest is who gets the 2nd place next to Le Pen in the final round. Fillon, Macron or Melechon?

Macron is ahead of her in the polls..

Mélenchon is not pro Putin. And his position to Moscow, which i don't like, has nothing at all to do with him being communist (he actually isn't communist but nevermind).

If Putin were a communist that would make sense, but Putin is a capitalist strongman. Communism being in power died in the perestroika.


Yeah, Czech communist are still amusingly pro-Russian and anti-EU while the EU is miles ahead in building socialism than current day Russia is. It's just so hard to get the old ideas our of their minds apparently.

Just cause you do it yourself doesn't mean you can bypass law. Same goes for free schools and such.

Who said there are no exit polls? But interestingly, I found only the very reputable Daily Mail reporting on them, so ... Says Macron and Le Pen.

the guy who said that said there would be no exit polls from french companies and all exit polls would be from elsewhere, thus less reliable according to him. Idk how true either of that is but that's what he said iirc
