I haven't read much about this election, but apparently Macron is more likely to win. However, Le Pen is the Brexit/Trump in this scenario so she's probably going to take it.

It will actually be quite scary if Le Pen wins. Sure Brexit was stupid and Trump is a twat, but this gal is an actual fascist

The EU is a dictator we don't need. Brexit is the better choice.

It's definitely going to be interesting.I don't think Le Pen will win but you couldn't blame the French for voting that way or anyone in mainland Europe at the moment.They make our immigration problems look like a fairytale

Another reaction to the over-population of Europe coupled with frequent terrorist attacks. When people can't have a full and frank discussion about immigration without being called bigots and racists, this is the only way they have to voice their opinion. Frankly, I'd rather have a grown up conversation about limiting incomers than have a Nazi running France. Shame that grown-up conversation is as far away now as it ever was.

Shame your words appear to echo this nazi...

'Marine Le Pen is continuing her criticism of her rival today.

She tells the French people that Macron is not an outsider:

He is part of the old guard of French politics who are in one way or another responsible for where we are today.'

Le Pen is the worst case scenario so knowing the GP as a whole, they'll probably vote her in.

Your comment has nicely embroidered what I was trying to say. I do not support this woman... I don't support people like her... and simply saying that immigrations needs to be controlled gives YOU the right to suggest I sound like a Nazi? LOL...
