Hardly surprising when 1 in 4 hasn't got a job.

Not insignificant support by younger voters for MLP, but still "almost half the young French population voted for Le Pen" meant no more than 44% of 18 to 24-year-olds. EM still won 56% of that age bracket's vote and a higher majority of course in all other age brackets.

Yep, it's the trend (throughout Europe) that is worrying though. Back in 2002 the FN got only 17.8% of the vote in the 2nd round, Le Pen getting 34% of the vote would have been unthinkable just a decade ago.

Having said that this election wasn't the one to worry about in the short-term for the EU, they passed just about in the Austrian and Dutch elections, I use "passed" lightly as it was way too close in Austria. The next test and probably the most worrying is Italy next year, where the Five star movement is trading blows with the Socialists.

Very true - when the EU is destroying jobs and their futures then the young haven't actually got a lot to lose.

Alot of the younger voters are being Red Pilled and waking up to what's happening around them.

A lesson in reality from a piece of science fiction. Oh dear oh dear. Quite sad when science fiction movies are being seen as the blueprint to how things are. May as well join scientology if you like that kind of 'reality'.

It is just me, or did it just get old in here?
