I think the EU wins this round.

I'm going to be a contrarian here and predict a Le Pen victory.  I doubt this will be a socialist victory, unless you only wish to include French citizens without a complicating duel citizenship ... preferably ones with no ties to elsewhere.  She is a purification candidate, and socialism is the least aspect of what she wants to accomplish.

That's what national socialism is all about:  socialism, but only for nationals.  That's what differentiated it from communist internationalism, which wanted to take over the world.

Recall that the very word Nazi was shorthand for National Socialist.
