    Thanks, Norton.

    I'd prefer Le Pen.

    Lepen is fucked, she lost the big debate and proved how clueless she was

    Macron was clean, courteous and effective, and that killed her

    The Illuminati have their new man to rule the world now that we have clueless and powerless Trump at the top

    11 million people voted for Le Pen, 11 million people abstained, how many voted for Macron? And out of those who voted for Macron how many did it cause they agree with his policies and how many held their noses and voted for him as they don't agree with him just didn't want to see Le Pen as president. People already protesting today in Paris against Macron and he hasn't even assumed office yet and these were people who voted for him watching them being interviewed on the news.

    true, it's a "thin" majority

    but Lepen was very disappointed by her results, so disappointed that they changing strategies, renaming the party, and opening their doors to new "political" micro parties

    she wants to become an opposition leader for the next 5 years, and that was the plan all along as she knew she hadn't any chance since round 1

    That's already happening in Wales and will increase in UK and Europe, independents garnering local support on issues rather than on broad platform ideologies, forming multi-view coalitions of consensus government.

    The way to go.

    The left and right is gone,

    the issue now is "Nationalism" vs "Europeanism" with the "green" issues being mixed in the middle

    If Macron fails which he probably will do and we all know how you French like a good protest, France is going to move to the right, Le Pen or preferably her niece may have a good chance in 2022. How many public sector jobs does Macron want to axe + wants to reform all your labour laws, there is going to be anarchy in France.

    quite possible, and yes Macron is the last chance. I really think he can succeed though, he is quite resourceful.

    ^ At one point, the new French President worked as an assistant for Paul Ricoeur, a major 20th century philosopher. The American president would be hard pressed to spell 'philosopher' correctly. There's not really much comparison.

    From the link above;

    Brigitte Trogneux (not actually Madame Macron), the wife of new President Emmanuel Macron, used to be his drama teacher. Here's a closer look at France's next first lady.
    So who is Brigitte Trogneux?

    In short, she is the 64-year-old wife of Emmanuel Macron. They've been married since 2007.

    She was once his high school teacher and she is 25 years his senior.

    Hang on, they met at high school?




    Yep. She used to be a French teacher at his private high school in Amiens, northern France. She also ran the theatre club where he was a budding actor. The picture above shows Macron's first "kiss" with Trogneux at the end of a theatre production.

    It seems like it was love at first sight - it's understood the pair used to have long discussions together - and she would read his writing out to the class.

    "She used to recite his work all the time. She was totally captivated by his writing skills," a former classmate told Le Parisien newspaper.

    A whole new level of "teacher's pet".

    Apologists for the Vichy regime are generally considered right-wing.

    She denied French guilt over collaboration with the nazis and her party has always been a home for racists and loonies of all types. These are just facts, and they're not going to change on the whims of some uninformed idiot. Sorry.

    Her niece is too young for 2022. 10-15 years from now, definitely.

    BREAKING: #MacronLeaks Show @EmmanuelMacron Is On Gay Mailing List, Top Aides Buying Drugs Online, And More

    The rumors circulated about French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron’s inner circle are true. The alleged video tape proving Macron’s relationship with a man in the possession of Closer has been successfully kept under wraps by the clique of political insiders who threatened the publisher. #MacronLeaks is unveiling the truth, and also leaving even more questions to be answered.
    For example, why is Emmanuel Macron on the mailing list of VestiareGay?

    Mailing lists like this are opt-in only. This image was found in an e-mail addressed to Emmanuel Macron.
