Even though 64% of French people want to see the Burkini banned, the French High Court has opted to ignore the populous and abide by unbeknownst legality to appease vocal minority protest groups.
Nickolas Sarkozy, who is likely to lead the UMP for the 2017 election, has already said that he would support a nationwide ban on the Burkini. Also, don't be surprised if the support for the Front National increases as a result of the High Court's decision as it's just a further instance of the political elite defying public opinion to instill their unfounded regressive agenda.
- Hollande, leader of the PS, is polling at 13%.
- Sarkozy, expected nominee for the UMP, is polling at 23%.
- Le Pen, leader of the Front Nation, is polling at 29%.
The ban's reversal won't last long.
