Marine Le Pen And Geert Wilders FAIL To Form An EU Group

It has long been the policy of this Blog to attack the right as much as it does the left. The trouble has always been that the left has proved far more anti-democratic and anti-Christian than the right - so naturally they have attracted far greater coverage. (The Blog's title had rather anticipated this.)
Le Front National has, for several years, been attempting to become more mainstream and consequently, has moved towards the centre a notch. There is still clear blue water between their position and where UKIP sits on the centre right. Were it not for the inane bigotry of Marine Le Pen's father - who retains influence - Le Front National would have moved away from neo-fascism to respectability by now. And, say what you will about Wilders - the man is an out and out democrat. It is a scandal, even so, that Corbett's nasty, anti-democratic little rule of  '25 MEPs and at least seven countries represented' should have deprived these parties of legitimate funding. Politics at its lowest. Incidentally, Golden Dawn from Greece and several other minority parties are the real rightist hardliners, but in an equitable system, wherein verminous, hardline leftists have tagged onto socialist groups and been readily accepted to gain themselves funding, it is not morally justifiable that these groups should be robbed in this devious manner!
