After living in France for almost two years and back several times over the years, I can say I have had more then a few meals on wine and cheese...but....

Better wines out of California and Washington and better cheese out of Oregon and Wisconsin. IMO

The French election are on the same lines of the Trump Win. French people are tire of being victims due to liberal and immigration polices.

You could say the same thing about any country in Europe.

I'm Definitely interested in this election season.

Europe is being politically reshaped as we know it in ways that hadn't been seen since WW2

It's amazing as to how some people are clinging to "the Russians" as a way out for the DNC.

We will see what happens. Unlike a US Election for President, a candidate can't receive fewer votes than their opponent and win the election. France has a runoff system. If a candidate receives 50% +1 on the first round of balloting they win outright. if no one receives 50% +1 it goes on to a runoff with the top two candidates and whoever receives the most votes in the runoff becomes President. A run-off in this case is pretty much certain as no one appears to be anywhere near 50% on the first ballot.

The same can be said for the UK.

And anyone stupid enough to freely give out their password like the DNC did deserves to be hacked.....

Looks like Macron vs LePen for round 2. Macron estimated at 23.7% and LePen at 21.7% in the exit polls.

France 24 is saying that the polls predictions appeared to nail the results this time.

Thank you I was wondering how the process works.

So I think as of right now it is a close one between the M guy and Le Penn. as you stated most people predict no one will get 50%, so it will most likely be M vs Le Penn.

Can we predict how the other 2 candidates voters will vote in this situation?
