This is exactly the same argument as Melenchon and its the same scam. There is no way to "revoke aspects of treaties" as you can only change treaties if you have an unanimous decision from the 28 members, this just the standard "another europe" bs, neither ever talk about the article 50 because they don't want it.
Yes, guess my post wasn't as clear as it could be. All she'll have after the first referendum will be a desire from the people to change some treaties, that's why she'll then go off to try and negotiate and so on.
I do think she'd follow this path, however. I read her hedging as trying to attract slightly more pro-EU voters, not any actual desire to stay. The EU is absolutely important for the FN currently as they need PR to get seats and therefore power and money, but she'll introduce PR for the other French elections and will already be president.
We'll see, I guess. Well, with any luck we won't.
