And Le Pen's result isn't even that great considering she got 18% in 2012. Here's hoping France flushes the bitch in May.
Should Macron win, which is pretty much guaranteed at this stage, it will be interesting to see how he handles the legislatives in June seeing as EM aren't running any candidates? |

But yes, it will be harder for these candidates to win as they're mostly new faces. Oh well, I just don't want Le Pen to win next week

So now we know the answer to this question - how to you get the left-wing to become vigorous cheerleaders to an ex-investment banker?
Le Pen's going to lose by the looks of it, but stranger things have happened. |

They're still going to be relevant because Macron needs a mixture of the two traditional parties to form a government. Who he leans towards will be what defines his presidency, especially how he's posited himself as a centrist and shied away from focussing too much on any specifics of his programme. (I'm treating the second round as a foregone conclusion, yeah) This post has been edited by Harve: 24th April 2017, 06:25 AM |

Well, this is unexpected. Marine Le Pen is stepping aside as leader of the National Front, ahead of her run-off with Marcon.

Don't like either of these candidates - Macron symbolises the metropolitan liberal globalised elite who look down their champagne glasses at the average person!

Front National being very unlikely to get in is a massive relief obviously but the fact they've been a serious contender in this election is scary

I can only assume that Le Pen thinks people will somehow forget she's a fascist if she's no longer leader of the FN.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the electorate as legion has an incredibly short memory. It would not surprise me if this is the reason - it would give people the "fake because" reason to support her. |

In terms of public opinion, it reminds me of Clinton v Trump all over again...

They're completely incomparable on public opinion. Clinton had net negative opinion poll ratings for most of the year leading up to the election. Macron has the most positive net approval ratings of all the candidates and consistently polls as the candidate the French believe most embodies change. I doubt it'll last once he wins and has to cohabit with the Republicaines in the Assembly, but beyond ideology he doesn't resemble Hillary at all.

We're talking about 98% Macron vs. 2% Le Pen chance rather than 70% Clinton vs. 30% Trump. Polls were also incredibly accurate for the first round, with no real outliers. |

First round polls also overrated Le Pen and slightly underrated Macron.
