2017 French Presidential Election

Melenchon has an online video game now: http://fiscalkombat.fr/

Requires a computer? WTF. I want to play it on my Minitel.

Also, this Mélenchon surge is fascinating. I'm not sure who the top two will be. I'd guess Le Pen will be in it, but I'd say Macron and Le Pen should be worrying about losing their spot to Mélenchon.

It's obviously highly unlikely, but just hypothetically, who would win in a Macron-Melenchon matchup? I would think Le Pen voters would probably vote Macron, but who knows...

Macron landslide; the political tradition that Mélenchon presently represents is poisonous to a majority of French voters. But a very interesting map, I suspect.

I'd agree. I'd guess at least a 2:1 margin in favor of Macron.

Not sure why, but I definitely thought the election was today. Bummer. 24 more hours.
