Not someone living in France, and clearly happy with been in the club. It does rather reduce the impact and import of any moans and whines about consequences... and questions their motive.
Actually, I was sure that she is an ex-pat who, like many others it has to be said, has take the option of going to live somewhere more attractive. I can't criticise that, as I have considered the same in the past. And who can blame us when such unfortunate things are happening to our own country?
However, I do agree with you that if she intends to remain in France, or remain as a French citizen, she has no right to vote on what happens to this country.

You need to check your facts, if you do so you may well find that you are incorrect.
