Macron The Next Pres?

It looks likely. Disappointing that so many French may have decided to abstain rather than to fight the pro-Russian, Frexit quasi-nazi. But it's a fact of life that those brought up on TV voting progs are a tad out of touch with real life. "If I can't be guaranteed a win for my favourite then I'm not going to bother to vote!"

Naomi, I meant Farage, Lepen and those who welcomed Russian money to the UK. I imagine you'll be able to explain my misunderstanding of the way this all works, and I thank you in advance; I know I'm probably rather naive about politics.

75% turn out which is not bad
and Macron trounced her

so it is a bit like Brexit - we have to put up with it

Le Pen gets more support every time but many are still wary of electing a far right candidate. So they've gone with the bungler once more, and we have to continue coping with another period of French president hostility. Ah well, maybe next time the French will realise what they did.
