2017 French Presidential Election

Haha, now I know how I lost about 50 posts overnight.

This thread is about France, not Austria.

Yes, but they have similar voting patterns.

Please do not delete stuff that don't fit your personal world-view. There's freedom of speech, no matter if you like that fact or not. Don't behave like Islamo-Fascist Erdogan and the likes ... Thx.

You really, really need to stop making everything about Austria...

A very bad rule, in my opinion. Really restricts the freedom of pollsters without a reason good enough to do such a thing.

Yeah, this is absolutely ridiculous.

Some reactions after the US strike on Syria

-Macron said yesterday, before the strike, that he was in favor of a military operation under the UN
-Le Pen is surprised by Trump's decision to "become the policeman of the world"
-Fillon "understands" the American strike but warns about a confrontation West-Russia
-Hamon: Assad is the only responsible for the strike
-Mélenchon: no reaction yet after the strike, he said yesterday that the crime must be punished.

Hamon and Macron with the only sane responses, it seems.

Thanks, parochial boy, very interesting! According to ifop turnout would only be 65%, and that percentage is relatively stable. Weird. In 2012, turnout in the first round was 79%.

What the thell, Mélenchon's FP vision seems to be the worst. Should have known that, of course, for the reason Al gave. I'd definitely vote for Macron over him.
