French Election Results...
Coming in. Very interesting. Macron 28.1% of the vote with Le Pen polling 23.3%. But ... next round sees the voters for Le Pen, Melechon(EU sceptic) 20.1%, Zemmour(far right) 7.2%, and Pecresse(centre right) all get to vote again. They do not want Macron and are 78.5% of todays vote. Not looking good for the "preferred" candidate next round then. Look at the map in the link supplied. ( if the %s have changed it is because it is a rolling figure as results are counted.

It’s a pretty good result for Macron.
It was also a strong showing by Melenchon. It seems a likely he’ll do what he did last time and urge his supports to abstain, do the “white vote” or vote for Macron.
Four candidates with admittedly small shares of the vote have already given Macron their support.
Macron cannot be complacent but if he concentrates on the election and avoids pointless wooing of “Poutine” then he should win

There are two candidates : to ensure one gets at least half the votes (tho it could only ever be at least half of the votes cast)
The BBC called it a “weird” system but several other countries use it, including Ukraine (where 39 candidates stood in round one!), and it’s a lot better then the bizarre US system.

What’s happened in French politics is indeed that Macron has hoovered up most of the centre-ish politicians of the other main parties left and right, neutering them.
That’s not healthy in a country like France which tends to be quite polarised politically as it leaves no serious mainstream opposition. And a danger that that recent trend of going against the incumbent will lead to an extremist winning.

They are down to two
Macron and LePen
this is a re-run of 2015
will she win - has become a lot more centrist ( no more gas chambers, hanging rapists and so on - not much to tempt some ABers then)
