With at least a quarter of the population undecided...I don’t think anything is really sure at this point.
Even if you get Le Pen and the Communist Party candidate down for the final election on 7 May...it’s possible that forty-percent of the public may just stay home and NOT vote. It’s be awful hard to use any poll and make an outcome prediction based only on sixty-percent of the population.
And let’s not forget....this only fixes up the Presidential race....you have to wait five weeks after that for the legislative election in June. You could easily have some very different results in the legislative election.
The ONLY sure things are DEATH and TAXES.
My POV is simply that what happened is Paris is what the common voter is MOST prone to respond to, in favor of Pen, who wants to stop migration of Muslim refugees immediately.
The second round of the presidential election should set a pattern for the parliamentary election to follow, one would expect.
Once the President is decided, the voters you would expect to stay consistent so their government is not confused.
The President of France names the Prime Minister and has powers to dismiss the National Assembly if needed. Its a more powerful presidency than the American one.
Question: But has yesterday’s attack change all that?
In America, don’t we have around 45% of those eligible not voting?
