I think I was the OP from the other thread, but I don't know what happened.

yes, you definitely were OP.

This is definitely a fault of the forum though - it's happened before where good discussion is permanently lost because of an accidental delete by mods or an OP.

All those posts argung about whether Macron is left wing or not, just dissapeared

Does... does this mean we’re going to have that whole discussion over again?

So in terms of "indirect exposure" time it's:

I misread this as "indecent exposure" and got really scared.

SHOCK HORROR AS POLITICAL COMPASS DOESN'T PLACE EVERY CANDIDATE IN TOP RIGHT



still wrong obviously

I also fundamentally doubt the notion that any major mainstream candidate for any national office would be on the bottom half of the chart. In particular, that's some serious projecting they're doing for Macron's economic AND social provisions. To quote JFK, back and to the left.

Any good live updates website to read tidbits throughout the day as they come live?

Also, side note. I saw video of Le Pen leaving her vehicle to vote. She seemed to be in a one car motorcade. Is that typical in France? In the US, even more minor candidates would at least have like a black SUV with some security.

Isn't a one-car motorcade just a car?

But to your question, you must ask yourself: when was the last time a French president or presidential candidate has been assassinated? I'm guessing it's not that frequent.
