“Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last,” is how Winston Churchill, just months away from becoming Britain’s wartime Prime Minister, described the appeasement that led to World War II. “All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. ”

The same could be said of France’s snap election, in which everyone from French Stalinists to the country’s business interests banded together to defeat the country’s “far right” at the polls. But the far right is not the threat, and the crocodile snapping at everyone’s heels is the accelerating Islamification of France.
While Marine Le Pen’s conservative National Rally performed unexpectedly well in the first round of voting, Sunday’s second-round results were a disappointment — dangerously so. While the pro-business bloc joined forces with French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist coalition, it still came in second to the far-left New Popular Front.
None of the coalitions that came together against Le Pen won big enough to form a government, but the New Popular Front will certainly be a part of it since French elites would rather die than partner with Le Pen’s National Rally. The Wall Street Journal described the NPF as “a diverse coalition whose most powerful faction is a polarizing, far-left party, France Unbowed.”
The NPF “wants to lower France’s retirement age and vastly expand government spending on social welfare, environmental protection, and health care,” according to the Washington Post. Macron’s coalition wants to continue the same ‘business as usual” approach that led to Le Pen’s first-round upset. Neither opposes the ongoing Islamification of France, where in the no-go zones in the Paris suburbs the most popular boy’s name is Mohammed.
