A suprising development in French politics today (hat tip: R. Spencer):
Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, the niece of Marine Le Pen who was widely tipped to succeed her as leader of the Front National, is reportedly stepping down from politics…
Rumours had been swirling in the wake of Ms Le Pen’s crushing defeat that her niece may try and lead the party into victory in France’s next election.
Ms Maréchal-Le Pen, however, has insisted she never intended to stay in politics throughout her career, according to Le Parisien.
