Exit polls are putting Macron in 3rd place........ FN are saying everything the people want to hear. They will bring down the cost of living. If it was that easy im sure Macron would have done that.

What's the likely outcome now Macron has come third in round 1 ? The question is who will the macron voters vote for in the second tour, where all the horsetrading is going to happen.Its far from a done deal more likely a narrow majority for the national front.My opinion of course.

Bardella is big on TikTok, which attracts the young, and he promises to do away with income tax for all under 30 year olds. It's a no brainer. His image is of a a young man from an immigrant background, brought up by a single mother in the suburbs. What they don't reveal is that he was privately educated, so we're not talking about someone from a poor background. They've been very efficient in creating an image which reaches the younger voter. At the same time he is well dressed and has good manners, which will appeal to the older generation. He promises them a 15% reduction in VAT. It's gonna be close. Hang on to your seats ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I am going for a hung Parliament. In all our years here, the second round had always seen a shift away from the FN. OK this time it looks more than an initial protest vote but I feel the French will not give enough votes to give Le Pen a majority

A lot of people I know just want change, and this might just be the occasion. We wait and see.

Well yes she may well get in but without a majority she will therefore be stumped to put her plans in to action, which is mostly good news I feel
