With EU immunity withdrawn, she now has standing (an important component to altering unjust laws). As I've said elsewhere, because the French government feels to test her on this issue she'll be able to ride it all the way to the election, regardless how fast they move on it now. If they convict and sentence her next week, she'll be able to command headlines. It'll only get worse as she appeals the ruling to the highest courts. Strategically, this was a bad move by the government and great PR for Le Pen.	worldnews	French politics	annotator02	Thin Morality	Confident

Le Pen, Like Trump and to a degree Farage have no interest in draining the swamp as their support base partly comes from big business. They borrow the rhetoric of "draining the swamp" but what they actually mean is a purge of any liberal influence whilst continuing the support and protection of any business that more reflects their extreme views. Climate change denial, Deregulation for polluters, EU regulation protecting workers and human rights.

A completely objective thing might explain the lack of support from his party : During the primaries, he talked a lot about being clean, and presented himself as the anti-corruption candidate (probably hinting at Sarkozy who was taking part in those primaries), so a lot of people from his own party must feel betrayed.

With EU immunity withdrawn, she now has standing (an important component to altering unjust laws). As I've said elsewhere, because the French government feels to test her on this issue she'll be able to ride it all the way to the election, regardless how fast they move on it now. If they convict and sentence her next week, she'll be able to command headlines. It'll only get worse as she appeals the ruling to the highest courts. Strategically, this was a bad move by the government and great PR for Le Pen.

Le Pen, Like Trump and to a degree Farage have no interest in draining the swamp as their support base partly comes from big business. They borrow the rhetoric of "draining the swamp" but what they actually mean is a purge of any liberal influence whilst continuing the support and protection of any business that more reflects their extreme views. Climate change denial, Deregulation for polluters, EU regulation protecting workers and human rights. Draining the swamp would most likely these days involve removing politics and business altogether as they go hand in hand.
