French Presidential Elections

Post by NonZeroSum »

My prediction; Macron has the race tied up, Conservatives are bogged down in scandal, people won't want to vote ruling socialist party because the parliament maintained the status quo the last 4 years, Marine le Pen will get to second round run off and then lose heavily to Macron because socialists will grit their teeth and vote for the laissez-faire globalist Macron as they did in 2002 against the National Front for the Conservatives by an 82% majority. Also the French aren't idiots.

I hope you're right; Macron seems like a very sensible candidate. Le Pen winning would be disastrous.
