International
Marine Le Pen03 Jul 2009
Log o of the Front National, France
The charismatic daughter of France's far right politician Jean-Marie Le Pen. Will she inherit the National Front Party when her father steps down?

Marine Le Pen has been nicknamed "the clone" because of her physical and political likeness to her father - France's far right politician Jean-Marie Le Pen. As vice-president of the National Front , she's been canvassing in the depressed northern town of Henin-Beaumont - where the party came one stage closer this week to winning its first town hall in seven years. They took nearly 40% of the votes in the first round of a by-election and are tipped to win the second round next weekend. We'll be asking what a victory would mean for this charismatic former lawyer. Would it strengthen her chances of inheriting the National Front in France?
