"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
For all the whining about polls, they were spot on in this case. No reason to think they'll be wrong in the second round (where Macron wields a 30% advantage).

Interesting how little attention was given to the fact that his wife is 24 years his senior.
Congratulations America
Presumably because he didn't pay her $800k to do nothing. Also, France.

That would be her mix of xenophobic and dirigiste policies. Fascism is not a particular policy but a specific mix of policies.
Mind you, I am not one to use the label fascist easily.
Congratulations America
Let the apologetics begin.

In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Also, LOL at the current Graunian result, Hamon + Melenchon combined would've been 25+ points. Can we get a sad trombone in here

Breitbart says she's cool. That means she can't be a fascist.
Most of the disenchanted center-left went for Macron.

The trump subreddits are full of ignorant bandwagoners who support le pen solely to show they aren't sexist. Some of their top threads start and stop with that sigle claim.
"In a field where an overlooked bug could cost millions, you want people who will speak their minds, even if they’re sometimes obnoxious about it."
The promise to repress a minority seems like a great reason to support a political candidate.

Surprise surprise, M. Le Pen suddenly never advocated leaving the euro.
Congratulations America
Seems like Randy 's fascist wet dream is well and truly over.
Congratulations America
Relieved, but they're making steady progress every election. Their counterparts in Scandinavia and in Eastern Europe are likely to see greater electoral success. Granted that wouldn't be as harmful to the EU as if France had succumbed but their increasing strength will make the EU more ineffective for every year and may provoke counter-productive responses from Brussels.
Nevertheless, woohoo
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
She underperformed her polls by about 10%, as have far right parties in a bunch of recent European elections. Too much of a stretch to call it a backlash against Trump.

She was polling at 38%. She currently has 38.7%.

Well, America elected a fascist shit-wizard and France didn't. That makes America a worse country than France. That's political science, and you can't argue with it.

Fuck off and stop trolling. I always supported first Fillon and then Macron, I oppose fascism and find the fact that a third of one of our nearest neighbouring nation voted for a fascist scary. I hope and expect fascists will get less than 0.1% of the vote here next month.
Fully agreed and that's a very mature post, well done. Its scary how much fascism is rearing its ugly, ugly head on the continent and that was one of my reasons for wanting to leave. I don't want to import fascist policies from fascist electors in France or Austria or Hungary etc
