    ■ Mr. Macron, an independent former investment banker, and Ms. Le Pen, the leader of the National Front party, received the most votes of 11 candidates in the first round, based on early returns and projections.

    ■ The result was “a full-throated rebuke of France’s traditional mainstream parties,” The New York Times’s Paris bureau chief, Alissa J. Rubin, reports. The runoff sets the country on an uncertain path that could also decide the future of the European Union.

    Bobby is right, Muslims and other mental cases should not be allowed to vote as they only vote on grounds of skin colour or religious beliefs, plus they are also corrupt and vote using dead relatives as well as cheating on postal votes

    Once upon a time in a more enlightened age, after women won the right to vote, but before PC neuter gender freaks got to run the show, nutters, prisoners and those regarded as too immature to decide, along with all foreigners were not allowed a vote.

    Since 1983, in UK, for example, most nutters in loony bins are allowed to vote, although non compos mentis, while prison inmates, anti-social personalities at best, are also allowed to do so.

    People of third world countries in general have absolutely no concept of fair and open democratic or egalitarian voting procedure, preferring to load up block votes in rigged elections that favour a cult of "strong leader" figures in bids for power over the masses, rather than for deciding appropriate methods of governance.

    These people need to understand and practice egalitarian culture before being allowed to participate in local and general elections.

    I haven't seen any opinion poll that places Le Pen remotely close to beating Macron in the second round. The French can't possibly be as stupid as the Trumpeteers and Brexiteers.

    It's a troubling image thinking of MLP and 123 canoodling, to be sure. I'm thinking of prosthetic limbs tossed away with abandon and M+S eclairs squashed in uncontrollable passion.

    They're stupid enough to have given France away to foreign influence, in more ways than one.

    Even though the Muslims love the idea of the borderless ,corrupt EU
    they might stage an attack or two before the next round just to show who the boss is in France and what wimps most French have become.

    THE OUTSIDER?

    By David Vance | April 24, 2017 | BBC bias
    The BBC’s fake news agenda is in full flow during the French Presidential election.



    This morning it has become even more ludicrous as the BBC chooses to cast Macron as “the outsider”? WHAT? This former Rothschilds banker provided economic guidance to uber Socialist President Hollande! He is supported by Merkel and Obama. I see Osborne has rallied to his side. Blair supports him. He is the quintessential INSIDER, but the BBC are on one of their predictable fake narratives. What a fake broadcaster.

    The Latest: President Hollande Urges Voters to Choose Macron

    French president Francois Hollande has urged voters to choose centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron in the May 7 presidential runoff to keep out far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
    That could backfire, as Hollande is loathed.

    This is the first time that anybody here has shown interest in a French election, for once it's interesting .
    It's the equivalent of a US election where the Democrates and Republicans where pushed out by two new parties.
    Out with the old, in with the new.

    True about the unusual interest in french politics, but I'd say
    Macron is just a fake, manufactured, pretend change, alternative to the established mainstream.
    Whats new, policy wise about Macron?
    All I've seen is anti Le Pen
    He was the Former French Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industry, what party was he in then ?

    Sounds like the standard pro Eu, Pro globalist, puppet

    Meet the new boss
    Same as the old boss

    She's quit the national front. Macron doesn't have much of a party so god knows how a government can be formed beneath him.

    Unlikely as it may be, even if Le Pen wins, the chances of winning a referendum on frexit is remote. The French psyche is much more wedded to Europe than the brits. Le Pen is the only reason there is interest in this election. All the other contestants are either recycled or re invented socialists/communists or members of the current elite that will inevitably play the old trickle down economics which means continued economic stagnation for the middle and working classes and bigger profits for the rich. In other words trying to give the illusion of change whilst maintaining the status quo.
    I hope Le Pen wins so at least French news will be more interesting.
    Like Britain (specifically England) the French decided many years ago globalisation and cultural suicide was the way to go with great help from the bankers and the politicians in their pockets.
    The only thing certain is the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer.

    France elections: Le Pen steps aside as National Front leader
    Le Pen says she will be "a president for all French people"

    Far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen has announced that she is stepping aside as leader of her National Front (FN) party.
    The move comes just a day after she reached the second round of the French election, where she will face centrist Emmanuel Macron.

    Ms Le Pen told French TV she needed to be above partisan considerations.

    Opinion polls suggest Mr Macron is firm favourite for the second round but Ms Le Pen said: "We can win, we will win."
    The French term she used signalled that the move to step aside would be temporary.

    She told France 2 that France was approaching a "decisive moment".
    Ms Le Pen said her decision had been made out of the "profound conviction" that the president of the republic must bring together all of the French people.

    "So, this evening, I am no longer the president of the National Front. I am the candidate for the French presidency," she said.

    The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says this is a symbolic act intended to show her concerns are for the country as a whole and not for her party, and that she is reaching out for the voters of candidates defeated in the first round, particularly those of the Republicans' François Fillon.

    Macron proving he is just a continuation of the old guard:

    It's Russia wot did it .....
    + hilariously bleating fake news, fake news

    Russia has accused French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron’s campaign team of discriminating against its media on Thursday, saying it had trampled on the freedom of the press by banning Russian news outlets from its events.
    In Paris, a Macron spokesman confirmed that the Russian state-funded Sputnik news agency and RT TV channel had been barred from having media access to him, describing them as a “two-headed entity” which issued Russian state propaganda and fake news.

    Le Pen is in Vlad's pocket.

    Why do you think she supported the Crimea referendum?

    For Russian fucking roubles, that's why.

    It seems Le Pen is using the Melania Trump approach...

    France's Le Pen lifts parts of rival's speech, aides brush off plagiarism accusations

    By Ingrid Melander and Sudip Kar-Gupta | PARIS

    French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen came under fire on social media on Tuesday for lifting sections of a speech from a conservative rival, in what Le Pen aides said was a "nod-and-a-wink" to his voters.

    Although the speech caused an online sensation over plagiarism, it appeared to be an attempt by Le Pen to reach out to supporters of Francois Fillon, who was knocked out in the April 23 first round of voting after coming third with 20 percent of the vote.

    Polls show Le Pen lagging centrist frontrunner Emmanuel Macron by around 20 points before next Sunday's runoff and she needs to broaden her base to stand a chance of winning. Fillon has urged voters to back Macron.

    In one part of her May 1 speech, lasting about 50 seconds, Le Pen talked about people learning French in Argentina and Poland, and on waiting lists to study at the Alliance Francaise official French schools abroad, in a word-per-word lifting of a mid-April speech by Fillon.

    Le Pen added to Fillon's comment that this showed France is more than a military and industrial power, that France "must and can" become a big power again.

    It was the second most trending topic on Twitter in France, with the hashtag #plagiat -- plagiarism in French.

    One Twitter user, @RidiculeTV, posted both excerpts together on Twitter: here

    The incident had echoes of an incident during last year U.S. election when a writer for then-candidate Donald Trump's campaign apologized for a speech by Trump's wife Melania that drew accusations of plagiarism.

    The National Front (FN) candidate's team was unrepentant, however. Florian Philippot, an FN deputy leader, said the party "completely owned up" to the fact that the speech resembled one by Fillon.

    Le Pen also described France's borders and ties with "Italy, our sister" - again a phrase used in Fillon's April 15 speech, and used the same quote from early 20th century French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau.

    In another excerpt about prospects of cooperation with France's neighbors, where the words were again the same as in Fillon's speech, Le Pen added that this would require France not being "a vassal" of Germany.

    French newspapers and social media highlighted the similarities, but Le Pen aides brushed off the criticism.


    Philippot told Radio Classique that Le Pen's speech was a "nod-and-a-wink" to Fillon's speech in order to "launch a real debate" about French identity.

    Le Pen's campaign manager David Rachline also played down plagiarism accusations, painting her speech as a form of tribute to Fillon. The reference "was appreciated, including by all of Mr. Fillon's supporters," Rachline told France 2 television.

    There was no immediate comment from Fillon.

    Separately, several French business leaders, writing in French business daily Les Echos, warned against what Veolia (VIE.PA) chief Antoine Frerot called the "catastrophe for French businesses and people" of Le Pen's favored scrapping of the euro currency and other parts of the FN manifesto.

    The latest Ipsos Sopra Steria poll on Tuesday showed Macron winning 60 percent of second-round votes to Le Pen's 40 percent.

    Quite a clever move by Le Pen's campaign - demonstrating that many of her policies are no different to Fillon's. She has to get his supporters onside ...
