It’s the French presidency an extremist can’t win - Macron will easily win.
Not many EU flags at Le Pens rallies compared to Macron! |

The most up to date actuals have Le Pen far closer than projections. With 34872 of 35080 domestic communes counted it’s 27.4% to Macron, 25.2% to Le Pen.

damn, as expected, but a choice between far-right and a president so ineffectual at doing things for the people it'll probably just lead to more far-right next time around even if he does win.
the overseas territories are swinging HARD for Melenchon but those and some Parisian departments are about the only ones he's ahead in, he's going to fall short. |

This is what happens in the states with the neolib Dems and their sabotage vs the left

Horrible for the Muslim community in France to have a choice between Macron and Le Pen as both of them vilify them. Tbh it's a far worse choice than Starmer vs Johnson albeit Macron is better than Johnson.

I wouldn’t say Le Pen was better than Johnson. Very dangerous if she won.

Macron on 58% according to projections. I can still consider a summer holiday in France.

Boring centrist who believes in nothing means the far right will continue to grow like they have in the past 5 years!

I think the media really talked up her chances - so great that Macron smashed it. I hear you about the increase in the Far Right vote but that's the world we are living in right now and Macron has been disappointing.

Yeah, good for Macron that he won, he needs to spend the next 5 years doing his utmost to work for the people of France so that the centre and left of France aren't facing another far-right monster in 5 years time but I won't be holding my breath.
c.f. what almost a third of the country who voted for their president think of him - this is not how democracies can operate long-term:  hope Mélenchon's party smashes it in the legislative elections |

A sigh of relief for now that France wasn't stupid enough to elect a blatant Putin puppet in the middle of the Ukraine invasion - I did think Macron would probably be fine here but some of the polls were quite alarming, thankful that it has ended up being a wider margin than some predicted but that's still a concerning increase in vote share for Le Pen against the same opponent since 2017.
(I understand people being unenthusiastic about supporting Macron but they had their chance to get a better opponent in the first round, so close for Mélenchon, I expect Macron would have won against him in the second round as well but it would have been refreshing to see him actually make the second round) |

Le Pen had softened her image too from last time including being less anti EU and trying to woo the left with many policies. She still lost badly. Macron is the first President to be elected again in 20 years as well.
Unlike the shitshow that is our Tory government, the French are doing ok. This post has been edited by Smint: 25th April 2022, 12:07 AM |

I really don’t like Macron and there was a part of me hoping Le Pen would win to be honest although her connections to Moscow were concerning.

good news for June's parliamentary elections, the Socialist Party have joined a broad left alliance to take on Macron for the parliament, which means a united left alliance, feels like far too long since one of those was anywhere.
