What would we think if a Court blocked Nigel Farage from standing for election?

Like him or loathe him, he has as much right to appeal for the support of his compatriots as anybody.

But that isn't going to happen in Britain - there are better ways to ensure that he doesn't get too near to actual power than an outright ban.

So perhaps it's a measure of how desperate the French power base is, that Marine le Pen has been prevented from standing for the presidential election.

Evidently they do things differently in France.

Perhaps if we could get the courts to ban all the unsuitable candidates, we would be just left with the "best" and we could avoid all the expense and inconvenience of elections?
