In the next round, Hamon. If it's Macron and he somehow loses to Le Pen, the far left will again claim that it was neoliberalism that lost, not them. Just run a far leftist and we'll win, they'll say. Only if Hamon actually gets a face off against Le Pen will we finally get to test their hypothesis. Also, Hamon would be harder for Julian Assange to oppose- there is a large contingent of leftists who aren't bothered by Assange nuking Hillary, but would be harder to justify themselves if he nuked Hamon. Hamon would force those people to either recognize that Assange is evil, or abandon their principles. And if Hamon actually gets in, it will be a test of "anti-neoliberal" government. The results of that would be useful lessons to other leftist parties. That said, anyone is better than Le Pen.
