France 2017: Results Thread

Le Pen is running in 5th in Paris, lol

Are there any French people still living?

No, it's 78% morrocan, 28% Turks and 16% chinese

The sad truth is, that you're not far away from reality...

Wikipedia is your friend; the area is overwhelmingly "born in Metropolitan France": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_arrondissement_of_Paris#Immigration

Very little research needs to be done to discover that the area is very wealthy and overwhelmingly white.

Born in France does not mean that they are French ;-) But ok, I know that for you guys a sheep born in a chicken coop is a chicken, not a sheep...

I was not born in the United States, but I only have American citizenship. Am I still American in your eyes?

Panzergirl is still probably going to lose, but God, if she breaks 45% this time, you can be sure 2022 will be her election to lose.

This is the thing most people are missing. If Le Pen loses, but still performs above her polling expectations, and Macron has a bad five years—economic stagnation, terrorism, or just inefficiency—2022 is going to be ugly.

2017 is a completely different world from 2012. Trying to predict what 2022 will be like is insane.

That is why I put out all those qualifiers about what 2022 France/Europe would have to look like.

I get where you're coming from and I recognize that. This is more directed at the others in this thread who think the next five years are going to be exactly like 2012-2017. If you asked me back in 2012 what the world would look like today, I would have been way off the mark.

Oh, I see. Yeah, obviously those kinds of assumptions being made on here are foolhardy.

Thank God Macron is winning over Neo-Nazi Marine LePen.

Pathetic and hilarious.

Macron will destroy the country entirely, if this is even possible anymore given the state of France.

Can't wait!

Its really great to see LePen pushed down into the 30s...she may even do worse than the final polls indicate since Macron does better with older and more educated voters who are more likely to vote. Also, her dreadful performance in the debate will likely demoralize her voters.

I look forward to seeing the voters of France administer a sledgehammer to her and smash her evil movement into a million shards of glass!!

Looks like 4chan is claiming Macron is into designer drugs.

RATINGS CHANGE:

SAFE MACRON>>>>>TITANIUM MACRON

Link/screenshot? I want to be amused.

It will be nice to see Le Pen go down in flames tomorrow.

Woah, the NYT map is hurting my eyes.

Are they really using blue for Macron and orange for Le Pen ?

A sea of blue with yellow dots is far more visually appealing than a sea of yellow with blue dots.

Yeah, think of it as the big giant wave sweeping out the alt-right trash.
