France Topic

 The French parliament law commission (this week) stood up and adopted a draft-bill that would allow non-EU foreign nationals the right to vote and stand in municipal elections.

I'm not saying the National Assembly will pass the draft-bill....just that it will arrive and be discussed.  At best, I'd give it  a 20-percent chance of passing.

Key deal? Well...you'd have to hold a visa, and have a French ID.

This concept drifting over into Germany?  I pondered this.

Neither the CDU-CSU Party or SPD Party would NOT openly discuss this....in fear of driving more voters to AfD.

The Green Party or Linke folks....might discuss it....but they'd likely have the same fear...driving voters to AfD.

In France?  I would imagine just having this draft bill discussed.....might drive several million to the far-right.
