French elections

No surprise at all.....the surprise would have been if Le Pen had won!
I did hear that she is really waiting for the next election ( so Macron had better not mess up.)
Just to say... it has nothing to do with Brexit, although some posters always have to get something in about it.
Many left wing people here in the UK voted to Leave, many right wing people here in the UK wanted to Remain in the EU.
Le Pen and her party are just not popular, simple as that.

This morning Uk bookmakers had Le Pen favourite to win!
Thank goodness sense prevailed and we have a pro EU President.

Thank you M. Macron for saving Europe from another nationalist. Putin and Trump will be dissappointed. Liberals everywhere will celebrate.

Not much of a surprise.

Thank goodness. The hard Right is clearly not quite so desirable to European countries as some Brexiteers would have had us believe.

Yes that is a relief , wonder how he will deal with TM and Brexit.

Yes, a win. Happy with the result. Feel Macron has to walk new ground in France. Hope it's not too rocky for him.
