It’s not looking good for Marine Le Pen’s presidential campaign. The latest polls show the National Front leader at 41 percent against the independent Emmanuel Macron, who’s expected to handily win the presidential runoff on Sunday.

I’ve been invited on BackWordz Live for a debate with BeingLibertarian.com contributor Bric Butler about the French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen. You can check out the full video down below:
France’s Republican Front is Bound to Fail in the Long Run
After the first round of voting last Sunday, the French electorate decided to send independent candidate Emmanuel Macron (23.8 percent) and far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen (21.6 percent) to the next round of voting on May 7th. Opponents of Le Pen’s radical policies are now calling for a gathering of the so-called “Front Républicain,” the […]
The French Government is Literally Burning 100 Million Euros
Since January 2017, France requires all cigarette packs to be sold in plain packaging — they all come in the same green-ish colour, only a neutral font lets the consumer identify the different brands. The government’s anti-tobacco fanaticism costs the taxpayer a fortune.
Léif CGFP: Da gitt dach streiken!
Jorelaang schonn si Lëtzebuerger Regierungen domat amgaangen der Staatsbeamtegewerkschaft hier Wonschlëscht ofzeschafen, mee sou richteg stellt sech dach d’Fro wat d’Salaire’s-Lobbyiste vun der CGFP da maache géife wann eng politesch Majoritéit hinne mol eng kéier géing Nee soen.

La lutte anti-tabac crée un dangereux marché de contrefaçons
Lorsqu’on lui a demandé combien devrait coûter un paquet de cigarettes afin de réduire la consommation générale du tabac, le candidat à la présidence française, Emmanuel Macron, a répondu: «Je crois que 10 € est un prix adéquat. Je suis prêt pour ça». En effet, il semble que les politiciens français se trouvent en compétition afin de déterminer […]

“F**k it, we’ll do it live!” Bill O’Reilly’s iconic moment as a peeved host of “Inside Edition,” mixed with his more recent habit of dominating the ratings at Fox News, seem unusual in Europe. Here, TV, especially shows about politics and culture, attempts to maintain a facade of earnestness. Apart from the UK’s “Prime Minister’s Questions,” the […]
Ireland’s Water Consumption is One Big Tragedy of the Commons
On the 13th of April, the Dáil (the Irish parliament) decided to get rid of the 2014-introduced domestic charging schemes for water consumption. The legislation had forced many Irish citizens to pay individual water charges, as opposed to water being a universal good provided solely through the government, free of charge. As the first bills arrived in January 2015, […]
De Réckbléck vun der Woch [17/2017]
Heiansdo sinn Nouvellen zu Lëtzebuerg ze kleng fir ee ganzen Artikel driwwer ze schreiwen, dofir hei de Réckbléck vun dëser Woch. De Réckbléck vun dëser Woch ass méi kuerz well ech momentan an der Examenszäit op menger Uni sinn. Donieft ass nach Vakanz am Land. Wien d’lescht Woch verpasst huet, dee fënnt se hei.
Don’t Nanny Me: A London Store Protests Lifestyle Regulations
Risen eyebrows, perplexed faces: some visitors at The Society Club on Cheshire Street in Shoreditch, London looked slightly confused at the sight of the city’s very first Nanny Store on April 20. For one day only, the student group Students for Liberty and the Consumer Choice Center took on themselves to ridicule the creeping interventionist nature of what is often […]
