May 7, 20178 yr Le Pen has conceded. Sighs of relief all round. Wish Trump had had to concede too. French voters are more sensible than the U.S ones.
May 7, 20178 yr So France isn't getting its first female Head of State after all. The sexists must be delighted.
May 7, 20178 yr As expected but great news nonetheless. Looks like Macron actually did better than the polls indicated, even with the low turnout.
May 7, 20178 yr So France isn't getting its first female Head of State after all. The sexists must be delighted. f*** sexists, this woman is an actual facist any sane human should be delighted she was vanquished while still being sad she 1) reached the run off and 2) got ⅓ of the vote.
May 7, 20178 yr f*** sexists, this woman is an actual facist any sane human should be delighted she was vanquished while still being sad she 1) reached the run off and 2) got ⅓ of the vote. Indeed. Thankfully this feels as if this is her high watermark, I can't imagine her or FN getting any more in any subsequent election, unless something seismic happens in France between now and the next election. The next interesting point for Macron is what he will be able to do in his role as President, especially given that his party has very little parliamentary representation, although elections next month could change that.
