Re: European Elections 2017
We'll see. Most polls have Macron winning by a comfortable margin.

Well the French ones nailed the 1st round almost exactly.
Obviously things can change. I imagine Wikileaks will somehow come by a lot of damaging information on Macron etc. Still if Le Pen wins it will be a far bigger polling miss than Trump and Brexit - both of which were only a few percent off of their polling averages and not 30% off.
I've been wrong before of course but there we are.

Re: European Elections 2017
if one of them offers 4 more bank holidays that'll be the clincher

Re: European Elections 2017
Look how pathetic the EU came out backing Macron. You know it's a corrupt system, in which all French banks have refused to loan Le Pen money for her campaign, but happily loaning it to the other candidates. Cannot call that a fair democracy.
However, Le Pen is said not mind the EU backing Macron, says it will help boost her message and help her in the long run.

Re: European Elections 2017
No Left candidate in the 2nd round, that's going to scare a large number or lefties that voted Le Pen in round 1 as a protest against immigration (hoping at least some would vote for the Left for their candidates to enter the second round).
French radio and TV is full of shocked commentators saying it is "the end of France as we know it".

Re: European Elections 2017
Macron being backed by the EU and the banks does make him the "establishment" candidate. Could well work to his disadvantage in these anti-establishment times.
I wouldn't mind betting that a lot of French people will say they don't back Le Pen to the pollsters but will hold their noses and put their cross down for her.

Banks aren't obliged to give loans to parties. I am guessing they thought it would be a negative image. She is the leader of the National Front after all, our equivalent of the BNP. They're right of UKIP.

Re: European Elections 2017
She is not racist. She just wants controlled borders and out of the corrupt EU. No worries, appears she has got help from outside of France and no, that does not mean Putin.

more likely they sought to stifle democracy by starving the party of funds .

So, a banker forms his own pro EU party and the banks won't back any opposition.
Which image is negative?
