should have voted for Melenchon imo
left decided to split itself instead |
|
By:
yes, shame Melenchon didn't make the final round.
|

By:
It's all the fault of the Le Pen voters. They have a true socialist alternative and yet don't vote for it.
|
|
By:
left economic policy seems to be being rejected everywhere but when you listen to people's complaints, sounds like it's what these people want but is being stomped over by social issues instead

Macron is a shoe-in, Le Pen like her dad are nothing more than an itch as time will prove.

By:
free speech available for those who tow the line
I simply love it welcome to the new 1984 ish!! ho ho |
|
By:
Not towing the line. Merely being responsible with that great power of free speech.

Never having been banned for being abusive might be one of the requirements to acquire that status, not entirely sure.

Le Pen on economics
"she promises earlier retirement, bigger pensions, a short working week, tax cuts and a top-notch hospital on your doorstep. In her belief that French people can prosper by working less and consuming more public services (although government already spends 56% of GDP), she has much in common with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the far-left candidate. she promises protection. Against the possibility of being laid off, if they have jobs. Against foreign competition" She's a deluded leftieand I cant believe she got the votes she did. Hopefully some sensible 'Frexit' candidates will come forward for the legislature and move France toward an EU split without her 'Diane Abbot without the braincell' polices.. |

You reckon that would've been hard to finance, gilbzy?
What Macron on the other hand wants to implement, emphasis on wants because in France really getting them in place seems an even bigger problem than elsewhere, is a French social market economy. Something that leans on what some of the other European countries like Germany, Netherlands and the Scandinavians do. A bit of middle way and it's working reasonably well I'd say in those countries. It's not socialism, but it's nowhere near as capitalistic and big business loving as practiced in the UK and especially the USA. Which is why I find it a bit silly if people like moisok come and talk as if Macron wants to introduce radical neoliberal ideas in France. He doesn't. Not at all. In fact, I'd say most labour voters right now in the UK would kill for economic politics that are as far centre-left as Macron's are because nothing like that is anywhere near in sight for them. It's just somewhat controversial in France because they really are still that far on the socialist and protectionist side economically right now. |

Bad night for Brexit.

Great speech I thought. Then I thought of Jeremy Corbyn.

BBC in a better mood than when Trump was elected ...why is this?
|
|
By:
I fear the french have elected their very own Tony Blair, listened to a summary of his speech by one of the BBC's girls in Paris and it was all cliches but with little substance. We fell for that in 1997 and it will be interesting to see how Macron performs when his honeymoon spell is over. I hope he is better for that because we need good government in France to go forward either within or without the EU.
|
|
By:
I do hope you realise he is most certainly the product of the french establishment. I don't see how he is breaking any mould. He is very close to Hollande.
ps when do the demos and riots start?? We have had this with brexit and trump. Shirley the Le pen opposition will be on the streets. |
|
By:
Not just Le Pen supporters. The far left unwashed Corbyn types will at it too.
|
|
By:
Add to that the mussie outrage and the coming months could well be volatile..

By:
Indeed g2d.He's due a very short honeymoon.I can't see this ending well.

65 per cent beats 35 per cent that's what you call a landslide
|
|
By:
A third of French voters either spoiled their ballot papers or abstained. Throw that into the mix and you have a very divided country.
|
|
By:
Most countries are divided you only have to look at Britain and America
|
|
By:
Amazing isn't it?
48.1% v 51.9% = The nation has spoken, a decisive victory. 66.1% v 33.9% = A divided country |
