The left Party(le Parti de Gauche of Jean-Luc Melenchon) is an eurosceptic party, but a lot of people in his movement just want to change European Union. And they don't want to stop immigration.<br /><br />In National Front it's more complicate:<br />-some people in national front are leftist(for exemple Florian Philippot), it's the "national-republican" branch(the father of this tradition is Jean-Pierre Chevenement, one creator of the french socialist Party).<br />-other are people of right, with racism, neo-liberalism, and old catholicism(anti-republicainism), for exemple it's the position of Marion-Maréchal LePen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678111467063728864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-81803464028569838552016-08-25T06:47:59.199-07:002016-08-25T06:47:59.199-07:00vous faites identité comme vous de gauche ?vous faites identité comme vous de gauche ?Lord Keyneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556863604205200159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-74905383796290552892016-08-25T06:46:20.628-07:002016-08-25T06:46:20.628-07:00Stunning:

"on the other hand"? Let's rephrase. The bureaucrats impose rules on everyone." (And the basic complaint is that it does so in a way that is not democratically accountable, or for the good of the people as a whole. )Ken Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12976919713907046171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-37836030147604507602016-08-25T06:27:00.034-07:002016-08-25T06:27:00.034-07:00There is the same thing in France, with Marine LeP... There is the same thing in France, with Marine LePen and Florian Philippot(leaders of National Front), who are in favor of a planification of the industry growth(like during the 60th) and of an importante welfare state.<br /><br /> I think trumpism is the same thing than "marinism"(in different national context):<br />-a defense of the welfare state and public program(they want created a keynesian stimulus against the crisis).<br />-a opposition to the muslim immigration, which cause some regression on women and homosexual's right and cause violence.<br />-an opposition to the globalisation(protectionnism, less migration, etc).<br /><br /> I France, this movement is call "national-republicanisme" or "national-populism". This movement don't have any political coherent, they just protect interest of the periphery, like Christophe Guilluy says(in his book "La France périphérique"). I don't if his book was translate in english but it is really helpness to understand the rise of the french national front(and Trump, because it's the same mecanism).<br /><br />Sorry for my english and my language error.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678111467063728864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-16611447784380679602016-08-25T04:32:22.624-07:002016-08-25T04:32:22.624-07:00Just saw this.

To an extent it is okay.<br /><br />But if 80% economists favour open borders and 80% public favour restrictions, something has gone wrong.Prateekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287835907015065883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-28903295202311145602016-08-25T02:01:27.075-07:002016-08-25T02:01:27.075-07:00Well, the Brexit movement was a combination of Tha...Well, the Brexit movement was a combination of Thatcherites and industrial policy-ites.<br /><br />What they held in common was that whether it's liberal economic policies or tighter regulations, they should not be imposed from the EU level.<br /><br />The EU has heavily deregulated some industries but also heavily regulated others. It's a mixed bag. On one hand, it forces austerity and budget cuts on governments, but on the other hand, it does reduce business freedom on many other fronts.Prateekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15287835907015065883noreply@blogger.com
