French Presidential elections

French Presidential elections
yeah, yeah, yeah... most of you guys don't care.
But, if things go wrong, France will have a referendum on leaving the EU and then they could go the way of Brexit.... to Frexit.
If Frexit happens, the EU disappears, almost certainly.
Europe's unification gets a setback of decades, or maybe even centuries.
Honestly, I don't think that's the way to move humanity forward, so last Sunday's first round of elections in France seem to hint in the right way.

Quote:The votes are mostly counted in the first round of the French Presidential election. The Conversation

Marine Le Pen of the French far right National Front has received 21.5 percent of vote. Emmanuel Macron, an independent candidate running on the slogan of En Marche! – which translates roughly to “Let’s March” – is slightly ahead with 23.9 percent.

Both candidates will proceed to the run-off round on May 7.

The winner of that round will be the next President of France.

There are many unusual features of this first round vote, but let’s start with the fact that the French polls accurately predicted the outcome.


There was just a little quote from that article that I thought was stupendous!
Talking about Marine Le Pen, they say "Comparisons to Trump make good press but are in many ways off the mark. Le Pen has a law degree, speaks coherently and has well thought out programs whether one agrees with them or not. She also explicitly believes in working with Vladimir Putin." Tongue
