France 2017: Results Thread

But is EM really any different from the moderate wing of the PS??? If so then isnt EM essentially a part of the left just as much as the PS was and is?

Well.

I still like Le Pen.

Do you also like Hitler?

In the debate I think I heard Macron say that he favoured adding some "element" of proportionality...and also reducing the number of seats in the Assembly. i wonder if he might want to add a smallish number of "top up" seats so that smaller parties could get some representation?

Its really great to see LePen pushed down into the 30s...she may even do worse than the final polls indicate since Macron does better with older and more educated voters who are more likely to vote. Also, her dreadful performance in the debate will likely demoralize her voters.

I look forward to seeing the voters of France administer a sledgehammer to her and smash her evil movement into a million shards of glass!!

The margin of victory matters...if LePen has a credible showing (i.e. over 40%) she would still be a major force and would retain control of her party etc... If she gets humiliated it will likely lead to massive infighting and factionalism within the FN...whihc would be a good thing
