I really don't know enough about Macron to have a view, other than the usual bollocks that gets reported in the press on by internet whack jobs.
I do know enough about the Front Nationale to be relieved that Le Pen isn't the winner, though.
This was the party originally founded by veterans of the Algerian wars, who were complicit in torture, corruption and the worst kind of excess during the conflict (as both sides were), formed from a hardcore clique of Foreign Legionnaires, many of whom were Nazi war criminals. The party thought the Nazi occupation of most of Europe was 'not too bad'. That's a direct quote from Le Pens father. They are consistently anti Semitic, anti Arab and anti anybody who is not white French. Talking about Russia .... the FN also had a £9m loan from a Czech front bank based in Moscow which they never paid back.
It may be that many Americans might not know what the National Front really is? We have them in the UK too. They are a far far right, Nazi sympathising white supremacist group. I'm astounded they are now being taken seriously and seem somehow legitimised. It's quite scary.
Im all for sticking it to the Man ..... but these people are the rough equivalent of the Christian Nationalist Crusade in the US, of the English Defence League or British NF. Brockton, I personally can't see it as heroic to vote for them (more fearful, scared and angry- that I get)
Its in the British national interest to have an economically strong neighbour, with an element of internal social cohesion. I voted 'Leave' for Brexit, but I didn't necessarily vote for the complete and utter sudden collapse of the EU, which would truly be a global catastrophe
I'm still going to France on holiday in a few weeks though.
If God wanted us to be vegetarians, why are animals made of meat ?

My own point was mainly that the media has been one sided and surely I am not the only one thinking Macron is a bit of an oddball with his odd relationship, banker backing and dodgy personal affairs. His Mrs was a mother of 3 who decided to start a relationship with a kid she was teaching. I find that pretty sick. You basically had that or Le Pen who I don't have much in common with. I would also like the media to define 'Far right' once in a while because I am against open borders and I certainly don't associate with anything on the right. I just don't like huge concentrations of undemocratic power or a host country giving everything away for the sake of cheap labour. You see the well dodgy aspect with a lot of these leaders. Blair and his public toilets arrest, Clinton with his trail of sexual abuse, this guy now who is obviously a bit fruity. My guess is they are easily blackmailed.
