The French protest vote, directed against pro-European parties, appears to be as much a protest against parliamentary democracy or what is left of it after decades of it being undermined by the forces of globalisation, than a protest against the corrupted political class.

The turnout was low, at 71.60%. The main revolutionary left candidates, Arlette Laguiller and Olivier Besancenot, got over 10% between them, but this stunning success has been overshadowed by the even larger vote for the far right. Jean-Marie Le Pen of the Front National and Bruno Mégret of the MNR (a split from the FN) got almost as many votes between them as Chirac. ... read full story / add a comment

This is just one of a hell of a lot of aircraft that have been coming and going through Shannon since late September. If I had better equipment I'd have put this and many others up ages ago.
