ChrisJones 7,975 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 This article is a pretty good summary for the first round. Although I still disagree with pollsters... The only poll worth a shit is the election result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 We're a week off, I think she is going to do far better than the polls suggest and I think she stands a good chance of winning it. It's going to be interesting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,261 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 It's basically a pre-EU referendum now I spoke to two separate guys yesterday in Paris,both Parisians both said the EU as an idea has merit,in practice the way it's going it's not worth a wank and France would be better out,both conversations sparked off when they had asked where I came from and both had started on about brexit.

If I understand it correctly as President (even without a majority FN government) she can still hold referenda without parliament. That is interesting what they said, Le Pen only has 5% popularity in Paris, it's pretty much the same as London, very liberal and pro EU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 This is interesting to listen to, it was made before Le Pen chose who her PM would be so is incorrect when they thought she might go for Fillon. The guest alludes to the fact that there is dirt on Macron, possibly financial irregularities and that a story will break before the final round. That could be a death sentence, the French seem to turn a blind eye to mistresses and even Macron's relationship with his teacher 25 years his senior which broke up a family but they tend to punish the corrupt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbLEZRJafz0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
