I can't see her winning.
I think the fact that she has got so far should send a warning shot. People are turning away from the left, we need to be more centrist. As has been said, people need to be able to discuss their grievances without being shot down as bigots and racists. |

I didn't suggest you supported her, I said your words echoed hers.

Don't know about the French but Brits get all shamefaced about sounding prejudiced, that's why they accuse others of invented behaviours with negative connotations such as 'PC' 'SJW' or 'virtue signalling' it detracts from their very real flaws.

Macron is NOT centerist he is far left disguised as a centerist by the far left. If you think Jeremy Corbyn is a far left socialist who had concerns about the EU, Macron is very very very pro-EU.

Unfortunately as we all know, we don't always get what we are promised from politicians. I consider my opinion no more or less important than anyone else's opinion, so therefore I am keen to hear opinions from all sides of any subject, one thing I have learned in life is that everything is not always black or white and even opinions can be swayed if you have an open mind. |

this is coming from the perspective of someone who neither supported brexit nor opposed it, someone who neither supported trump nor opposed him. someone who has absolutely no interest in engaging in politics because the whole thing has become nothing but a school playground of childish insults. the serious debates section of this forum is a shining example. and this is not a one sided comment, it applies to people on both sides of the political spectrum. the far left and the far right are both morons who i have no time for but most people are seemingly moving further and further in each direction which i don't believe is in the long term interests of anyone. |

People who say that their opinions are being shut down are choosing to shut down their opinions themselves. An accusation is just an accusation, It's only when it's true that it has any real power. Last edited by Tom4784; 24-04-2017 at 11:50 AM. |

I'm not entering into this 'debate' that seems to crop up every time there's a slow news day on the forum for a bit of a jolly.
As I have stated before many times accusing someone of bigotry is not an insult if the statement they make is bigoted, it's not down to interpretation by individuals, there is a clear concise dictionary definition as to what denotes bigotry. Stand behind your statements even if they are, by definition, bigoted.

If we all had the patience to listen to each other life would be easier. Sometimes it is the best way to walk away from a debate if you feel you are banging your head against a wall, much better than it getting into a full scale argument, after all, you might differ on opinions on one subject but agree totally on others. |

Personally if I hear the term PC I shut down as it means the person I'm talking to can't be bothered to formulate their own responses and relies solely on buzzwords to use as a blanket term for any given issue covering a wide array of topics.

She's still standing as an independent. She has more chance of swinging the vote in her favour doing this.

Interesting. That is actually a very good idea on her behalf.
