GOD HELP US!
This evening Jean-Marie Le Pen, leader of the 'Front National', has won through to the second round of the French Presidential Election by pushing Lionel Jospin, the Socialist Prime Minister, into third place. The current President, Jacques Chirac, came out in top position and it is assumed he will win easily in the second round of voting in two weeks time - I hope to God this assumption is proved amply justified.
Not so long ago we had Jorg Haider elected to government in Austria, then we had Silvio Berlusconi elected to lead Italy.
What IS going on in Europe? Have we learned nothing in the past fifty years?
