I gave up eight seconds in. But that’s okay, the video is only 1:45 and nobody cares what they said anyway.
Everything right of Lenin is described as "far right."
Farage is doing especially well with votes exceeding the combined totals of Tories and Labor. Exit polls show France's Le Pen edging out Macron. Gains for nationalists in Poland, Hungary, Austria, Italy and Greece.
50% turnout, 200 million actual voters in 28 countries, 7 held ballots earlier, the rest finish today.

Jean-Claude Trebuchet in your first video assures that this all means exactly nothing. Well that's rather out of touch. By the way, I love his French accent. I listened to and aped guys like him when I was a kid and this helped me to pronounce my way through some basic French much later on. I just put on my French Chef hat.

I learned from my brother that merely imitating outrrrrrrrrrrageous accents one hears on teevee, for example actually leads to proper pronunciation in the language.
One guy told me I had a great accent while speaking Japanese and all I was doing was imitating John Belushi. Hai!
"Everything right of Lenin is described as "far right."
Indeed.
The Ambassador from France to the U.S. during Bush Jr. administration said "u-u-u-u-u-u-h" between every three words. In a very low and slow voice. His English was poor. So it goes like this:
blah blah u-u-u-u-u-u-h blah biddy blah u-u-u-u-u-u-h blah blah u-u-u-u-u-u-h blah bliddy u-u-u-u-u-u-h ...
And he sounded exactly like a bullfrog, and I go, Oh Man, so that's where that comes from.
Mystery solved.
I guess Trump and his judges are now mainstream, after all.
The free world is catching it -- Trump Fever.
You'll notice these other countries are winning w/ 3rd, 4th, parties. We need more than just 2 parties. That's the only way to drain the swamp.
@Nick: But that would mean getting rid of the "first-past-the post" system and ultimately proportional representation and coalition building like the Germans do. Plus I think those nations have even swampier burocracies.
What needs to happen here is the death of one or more Parties and the birth of another. That's where Trump may be leading us.
chick, I don't think more parties is a cure, just a shuffling of the duopoly dynamic.
