This could get interesting...
quote:

"This will be a people versus the establishment by-election. It's a chance to stick two fingers up to the entire establishment, to frankly tell them where to go. And that is why I will be putting my name forward to stand in this by-election, I will fight to win, I will fight to continue the political revolution that reform has started."

"If I win, you win, because if I lose, they win, and we will never, with the two old parties, get the type of fundamental change that we need to fix Broken Britain."

Does England use two fingers to flip people off or is he calling for double birds?

If it's double birds then maybe all of this America 250 celebration awesomeness is rubbing off on other countries.

As someone who is familiar with the French legal system and French election laws, do you think she should be allowed to run?

Sorry. I thought your response was to Alisa's OP, about Farage. That was the PR stunt I was referencing.

If the top French court rules she can run, then she can run. She likely won't win, as usual, but I'm sure they'll do well in the first round, as usual.
