Froggie election

[Doctor Gollum]

So Macron wins the first round with 28% of the votes, Le Pen second with 23%. Most of the defeated candidates' votes will now go to Macron and he will win. I can't see how it can ever be any different.
All of this scaremongering by the MSM happens every time there's an election. The first round of voting means nothing, except for getting people all excited like.

Russian collusion in action... Perhaps 18 lunches wasn't such a bad deal after all...

This is what happened in 2017.

The only difference being is that Macron is no longer the 'golden boy' of French politics so it may be closer than you think.

In the final round of voting in 2017.

Macron....66.1%

Le Pen.....33.9%

I dont know enough about her to judge if she fits my subjective criteria of "far right", but it irks me that every mention of her on news programmes starts with "The far right candidate, Marine le Pen...."
Dont remember anyone constantly being referred to as far left.

He has shown himself to be very politically naive over the last week.
His enemies (Boris or his chums) have run rings around him.
Boris has just announced that he has full confidence in him, so he will probably be out of a job in the very near future.

Who's that?  Macron?

She is a lentil munching leftie when compared to Eric Zemmour.

Agreed. In the news footage of her I haven't seen any goose stepping nazis following her about.   

From what I understand in recent years she has abandoned policies like ditching the Euro and bringing back the Franc, leaving the EU, or bringing back the death penalty, and she has changed the name of her party from National Front (or Front Nationale) to National Rally.

She has softened her rhetoric on Islam, although continues a tough line on immigration, which I'm sure would be abandoned as soon she got the keys to the Elysee Palace as they all do! 

That tough line on immigration is probably enough to be branded Far Right though.

Albs is quite senile, he often gets people mixed up or posts in the wrong thread

Bugger.Wrong thread.  should be in the Sunaks thread.

Exit poll: Macron 58.2%, Le Pen 41.8%. As expected, really.



Something that caught my eye, Macron supporters at the Eiffel Tower dancing around to "One more time", a song by an English group sung in English. Imagine Boris supporters at Trafalgar Square listening to some froggie song.

Have you heard French popular music? It's so bad that you struggle to find it on French radio. Or anywhere.

Same as everything else French then.
