The wages of tolerance are treachery and betrayal. I see no reason why Islam would abandon its perennial policy of trying to conquer Europe just because we have a mutual enemy in the Jews. The Muslims see Jewish control of the West as a weakness to exploit, not as an opportunity for friendship.

FRENCH ELECTIONS: LE PEN’S RN WON MOST VOTES

The final results of the French Second-Round elections have shown that Marine Le Pen’s RN party won the single largest bloc of votes but, because of the distortions of the “first past the post” system used in France, ended up with a minority of seats.

As reported in the final results published in Le Monde (https://www.lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/article/2024/07/08/la-carte-des-resultats-des-legislatives-2024-au-second-tour-l-hemicycle-et-le-tableau-des-candidats-elus_6247510_4355771.html), the final vote tallies were as follows:

Rassemblement National (“National Rally,” RN): 10,110,013 votes

Nouveau Front populaire (“New Popular Front,” NPF leftist coalition): 7,040,232

Ensemble ("Together," Macron centrist alliance): 6,820,446 votes

Les Republicains (“The Republicans,” LR, Gaullists): 1,474,723 votes.

If France had a proportional representation system:

- the RN would have 38% of the seats (219 seats)

- the NPF would have 25% of the seats (144 seats)

-the Ensemble would have 14% of the seats (80 seats)

- the LR would have 5% of seats (28 seats).

However, the actual seat breakdown as a result of the first past the post election is as follows:

RN : 142

NPF: 180

Ensemble: 159

LR: 39

Of significance to note is that briefly, before 1986, France DID have a proportional representation system.

This was, however, changed back to the first past the post system in 1986, precisely to stop Jean Marie Le Pen’s Front National from entering the French parliament, as he would have at that stage already under a PR system. (In 1986, the FN polled 2.7 million votes, or 9.6% of the vote).

Hey folks! I have some really good news.

Sam met with his probation team today and the visit restrictions for our children have now been lifted. We passed the assessment with Children’s Services who have recommended full contact, and couldn’t highlight any issues. We can now book in a visit for Sam to see his girls this weekend, which will be the first time he’s seen them in nearly two months. The PPRC (person posing risk to children) tag has been completely removed from Sam’s file.

Once again I’d like to thank everybody who wrote to the prison, getting the initial restrictions lifted and moving things along. It means so much to our family that this chapter is now over.

Additionally, we were supposed to find out Sam’s licence conditions (rules he has to follow when released) today but they still haven’t decided. I genuinely don’t think they know what to do with him as he’s a non-violent criminal in prison for his thoughts. We’ll have to wait a little longer to get more info on this.

Too much demoralization porn being posted about the French and British elections.

Results were good for the "far-right" in both countries, especially France where two fifths of the population voted for nationalists.

Reform votes sextupled since 2019 and now they're the third largest party (in terms of vote share, not seats).
