French Presidential ElectionsBernd04/11/2022 (Mon) 07:12:08No.47213del
France is electing a new Prez. It will most likely be whom they already have. The two main candidates are the bloke who sometimes says uncomfortable things and has mommy issues, the other is the woman with the hot daughter (who might not be in the politics anymore I think). Macron is run by the party La République En Marche, which is more like a classical liberal party, not the mainstream leftlib of our day, without being conservative. Le Pen is the founder of Rassemblement National, a national conservative party, which probably called Nazi all the time despite all these kind of parties in Europe are 100% Pro-Jewish and Pro-Israeli. There is a third possible candidate just because Paris can't get enough of the Commune, the socialist Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
It's an election with two rounds, first they vote on the candidate, then they vote again on the two top candidates. First round turnout was ~74.5%. Macron leads with a solid ~27.5% Le Pen follows with ~23.5% Mélenchon holds ~22% of the votes.
This could change the data isn't processed in full yet. However no matter who comes in second, the winner most likely be Macron.
Beyond the first three there is one more notable group, the Reconquete party, which supposed to be even more far-right than the RN. Now they got 7% of the votes. Not nearly enough "far right" voters in France, and the supporters of the other parties will vote against them. Now I believe Macron's victory is sure. Interestingly France doesn't have a strong green party, unlike Germany.
