Guess who's coming to dîner?
C/O French pollsters IFOP, I have discovered quite how committed or otherwise the French are to Liberté, Égalité & Fraternité.
And the results suggest that the Left is not as comfortable as its principles suggest that it should be at the idea of their collective sons and daughters marrying out. Charted below are the negative responses to the question, "If it depended only on you, would you prevent or would you be not at all worried about your child marrying or living together with an Arab, an African, a Jew or an Asian?"
Lutte Ouvrière, which shows itself to have the most hypocritical voters is an old school Trot party, while the Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste is a bit more nouvelle vague, in Trot terms. The Communists seem to take fraternité the most seriously, but the pollsters inserted a health warning about small numbers of comrades polled.
Picking through the data, Arabs are the least popular spousal choices, while fully 24% of LO voters are anti-Semites, making this the second most anti-semitic home for votes after the FN (not charted) at 57%. Communists have a disproportionate problem with Asian folk, for reasons that wholly elude me. FN voters are the reverse, with Asians by far the least feared of the four groups.
