What's clear tonight, Clive, is that the national rally has completed a sensational journey from the extreme fringes of French politics right into the mainstream. It is the dominant political force here now. What's less clear is whether they can turn that into real power. In other words, can they take over the government? We'll find out that next weekend. Certainly in the next few days we're going to see huge efforts by the centre and the left to agree on one candidate to oppose the far right, or as they see it, far right, in all of the key constituencies to deny Marine Le Pen's party real power in government.
克萊夫,今晚很明顯的一點是,全國集會完成了一次轟動性的旅程,從法國政治的極端邊緣直接進入主流。它現在是這裡的主導政治力量。不太清楚的是,他們能否將其轉化為真正的力量。換句話說,他們能否接管政府?我們將在下週末揭曉答案。當然,在接下來的幾天裡,我們將看到中間派和左派為在所有關鍵選區反對極右派(或者在他們看來是極右派)的一名候選人達成一致,以剝奪瑪麗娜-勒龐的政黨在政府中的實權而做出的巨大努力。
