Title: French Election
Post by: Skybison on April 23, 2017, 09:01:25 pm

So the first round of the French election is over and now the race is going to be between independent centrist with little government experience Emmanuel Macron and deranged racist alt-reicher Marie Le Pen.  Both of France's traditionally dominate parties failed to get into the final round for the first time in ever. 

Overall signs look good that Le Pen will probably lose, but after last year we can't get over confident.

I doubt she will get the win this time.

But next. Deffo. Would bet on it.

Hopefully her batshit insane dad wrests the party back and guarantees those Neo-Nazis stay irrelevant.

Hopefully she does about as well as her batshit insane dad did when he made the runoff.

I could see that happening. As much as I like the fact that Macron is pro-europe, more neo-liberalists policies can only reinforce the ressentment people have towards their leader and strenghten the far-right.

That whole election cycle was a hold-up on Macron's part, and he knows it.
