Virtually all of the current affairs programmes we watch on French TV are predicting a Macron win with little or no credible opposition. Pécresse, Zemmour and Mélenchon will be also rans as will his main opponent Marine Le Pen. This rather sad state of affairs is causing many to believe that voting will be a waste of their time and that a Macron victory is a forgone conclusion. Many of our friends and family seem to have reached this conclusion and are resigned to another 4 years of LREM majority. www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/france/ |

They should vote and spoil their ballot rather than abstain, it may not change the result but it will make him realise his real popularity.
When people start whinging about politicians I ask them if they voted, invariably I get a response similar to Twojays friends, it gives me the "out" that I seek to avoid responding and being drawn into a political discussion.

69% of French voters would choose someone from somewhere between the Centre and the Far Right. The fact - sad or not depends on your point of view - is that the Left and moderate Right have allowed themselves - caused themselves - to become fractured and to look like yesterday's men and women.
If neither of the older style parties can organise itself, it gives a free run to extremists, unrealistic dream-peddlers and to LREM which has at least persuaded people that it offers an alternative.

I will vote for him cos’ I believe he’s done a decent job in difficult times. I thought he handled the gilet jaunes pretty badly but has learned from some of his mistakes.
The others unfortunately, are a waste of space. The Républicains are not convincing with Pecresse completely uninspiring, Hidalgo has sunk the PS even more than her useless predecessor, Marine is as dangerous as ever, the Green chappy is a waste of space , Zemmour will get the Catholic vote, Melenchon is what he always has been and the others are embarassing.
Macron without being ideal is the most credible candidate both nationally and internationally.
