Argus Posted May 7, 2017 Report Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Yes, this is good news. But remember, this is the first time the National Front made it to the final round. And only a few years ago it would have been unthinkable they would make it so far. She also got 34.4% of the vote, which is not that far below what winning political parties get in Canada. And they now go into parliamentary elections where there will not be just two candidates on the ballots. Also remember that Macron represented something new and different himself, the first presidential candidate in the final round not from one of the established parties. That allowed him to escape the kind of anger the population had for the old line parties.

scribblet Posted May 7, 2017 Report Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) France has just committed national and cultural genocide. Macron has declared that French culture does not exist and has never seen French art... really.... he is anti Jewish and anti west..... goodbye France.

scribblet Posted May 7, 2017 Report Posted May 7, 2017 Something he said : «L’art français, je ne l’ai jamais vu». French art? I’ve never seen it. Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province

Le Pen's father made the final round in 2002. Anyway, this is good news (for France) since Macron wants to implement much needed economic reforms to make France more competitive. I wish we could replace Trudeau or Wynne with Macron. Quote

Omni Posted May 7, 2017 Report Posted May 7, 2017 The outcome will likely disappoint Trump and Putin. There seems to be some evidence "somebody" was hacking Macron.

I see, so he runs for president of a culture/nationality he wants to spit on, and then celebrates his win at one of the nations most famous cultural icons. Got it. Quote

At least post some links to the National Enquirer articles. Quote "What do you think of Western civilization?" Gandhi was asked. "I think it would be a good idea," he said.
-TSS- Posted May 8, 2017 Report Posted May 8, 2017 12% voted blank or spoiled their ballots. Unsurprising really as none of the candidates this year deserved to win. How can politicians these days be of such sub-standard quality? Quote
