Le Penoi
I suspect part of the problem here is that itâs far from accepted at the moment that inequality is actually a problem in and of itself - I think thereâs a wide perception that most poor people actually have enough to get by and so they donât deserve state intervention.
Obviously itâs a rather rough, hypothetical extrapolation, but be thankful that France doesnât have the godawful electoral college system

I see they replaced Le Pen as the FN leader with a holocaust denier
Oh wait, this is apparently yesterdayâs news
theyâre now replacing Le Penâs replacement with this guy
meanwhile 29 media bodies are making an official joint protest against Le Pen & the FN for âobstructing the freedom of the pressâ
Arenât general elections fun?
Steeeeve!!!
Macron projected to win, with around 65% of the vote. That share for Le Pen is around 35% too high but itâll do.
thank god
Was concerned with the abstentions and the hacking but I think he outperformed expectations in the end (saw him at around 60:40 on Friday).
All the opinion polls which had him getting 60% in the run up to this factored in abstentions. I think that aspect was played up somewhat by the press desperate for a close contest

Really interested to hear the vote blanc result.
