[Goldwater]

Based on my limited knowledge of French politics:

[1] Fillon
[2] Macron
[3] Hamon
[4] Melenchon
[5] Le Pen

[Antonio the Sixth]

"Federal"?

Anyway, Hamon, and Nathan's ranking is correct.

My rankings of the top five candidates...
[1] Macron
[2] Fillon
[3] Hamon
[4] LePen
[5] Melenchon

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

Macron. I'm closer ideologically to Hamon, but when the other two people with a realistic chance of getting to the presidency are Fillon And LP Jr., I'll gladly vote for the Lesser evil

[DavidB.]

Federal, top kek.

Anyway, I'm with her.

Macron to prevent pure evil. Harmon would have been my top choice otherwise.

[JA]

Macron to prevent pure evil. Harmon would have been my top choice otherwise.

[Frodo]

Macron -unlike the nihilistic Russophiles here, I don't want the European Union to fall apart.  In its earlier incarnations, it has maintained peace and stability within its member states for decades, and I don't want to imperil that by having it break up.  We can afford having Britain leave, but France seceding would destroy it. 

[scutosaurus]

Macron- partly to prevent a Fillon or Le Pen presidency, partly because I like his nonpartisan approach to politics, which is something that I think is sorely lacking in the global political climate of today.

[Maxwell]

Hamon in the first round. I'm perfectly willing to vote for Standard left neoliberalism (Macron) over far right Trumpism (Le Pen) in round two, but when I have a candidate or two I'd actually like to vote for in the first round, I'm not missing that opportunity, especially considering Macron looks to be a shoe-in for round two.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Federal, top kek.

Anyway, I'm with her.

for real? fascinating.

[parochial boy]

Federal, top kek.

Anyway, I'm with her.

Natalie Arthaud?

[Mr. Reactionary]

Federal, top kek.

Anyway, I'm with her.

France NEEDS a woman president! Not more old white males.

Cheminade - make France LaRouchite again!

[Middle-aged Europe]

Well, if the current results of this poll were actual opinion polling numbers from France I'd vote Hamon.

But in reality, I'd vote Macron.

[SATW]

1. Fillon
2. Macron

and thats it.

[Grand Wizard Lizard of the Klan]

1. Hamon
2. JLM
3. Le Pen
4. Fillon
5. Macron

if we take only those mainstream candidates

[windjammer]

1) Hamon
2) Melenchon
3) Blank Ballot
4) Macron
5) Le Pen
6) Fillon

[MAINEiac4434]

Macron to prevent pure evil. Harmon would have been my top choice otherwise.

[Tender Branson]

Macron (non-enthusiastically).

[sparkey]

My rankings of the top five candidates...
[1] Macron
[2] Fillon
[3] Hamon
[4] LePen
[5] Melenchon

This looks about right. Fillon might be better on some issues than Macron, but Macron is a better candidate, and it's nice to see an independent break through the system. It's too bad France never seems to have a viable classical liberal option.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

1. Hamon



2. Macron






3. Melenchon















4. Fillon















































No fycking way. LePen
