Relieved at the result... somewhat. People voted for Macron, despite the fact he has no experience, is a former investment banker and member of the "establishment" because he was the alternative to an anti-Semitic racist. But she still pulled in one third of the vote. One third... Le Pen is now the opposition in France... and at the next election?

It's a worrying time and the fact that Macron won has only eased my fears for the moment.
