Judging by the speech MLP just gave to her faithful it looks like she's already decided to drop the "nice lady who is kind to cats" facade and it's back to normal service.

Yes closer but turnout lower I believe. I suspect I am not the only one who couldn't see Macron losing the election?

He wont get in a 3rd time  One of the few to have a second quinquennat (or septennat) probably the least deserved, least worst option.

It would have been a disaster for the EU if she had won.
I'm surprised anyone voted for her when she said she wanted closer ties with Russian after the Ukraine war was over.

Just wait for the legislative elections in a couple of months; they could make France ungovernable. And the campaign will be nasty, I reckon.

The left would have won if they had all got together. In the 1st round of voting the left (when all added together) got more votes than anyone else. However, with a couple of exceptions, the leaders of leftist parties decided not to get together, so their vote was split too many ways! Unfortunately they have only themselves to blame.
Yesterday some left voters had to vote for Macron as they only had Le Pen or abstention as their choices. Some did abstain (including blanc and nul) however some did vote Le Pen, which I don't understand. If you are left of centre, how do you vote extreme right when there is at least a centerist option?
If the left had got together would JLM be President today?

If the left had got together would JLM be President today? Be thankful for small mercies then. I would honestly have preferred MLP to JLM |

53%/47% in my commune in favour of Macron
60%/40% in an adjacent in favour of LePen
Remember that time when 1000s of foreigners died freeing France from fascism?😞
