The map if Hamon had dropped out, and 50% of his voters had voted to Jean-Luc Mélenchon while 30% to Emmanuel Macron, as suggested by polls.

Marine Le Pen is in full left-wing mode. She said all of the money they were discussing belonged to the French, who are the only one who create wealth, and that she wanted to give it back to us. She almost said "Labor is entitled to all it creates".

Overall, she's pretty bad and lacks actual propositions.

However, Macron is bad as well. MLP asks all the questions and Macron is stuck with answering and always defending himself.

This will probably go down as the worst debate since 1974. They can't even agree on basic facts.

So who does everyone think is winning so far?

None of us all.

Nothing interesting seems to have come from the leaks yet.

It's not easily accessible, you have to downloads them as "magnet links" and I, as probably a lot of people, have no idea how to do that. I have seen no serious information about what's in it either. Seems like it's only ordinary mails about campaign organization, how to brand the PS-turned-EM future deputies, insurance in case of defeat, etc.

I don't think it will have a noticeable impact.

So it turns out the best way to make French people angry is to say that chocolatine is gross. Which it is!

I find this highly offensive.

I just voted in Munich. There was no queue this time (I waited 50 minutes two weeks ago), but the officials told me there was no substantial drop in turnout. The 7th constituency (which cover most of central Europe) voted for Macron 53% in the first round.
