She’s very unlikely to win the second round. That said, her success will keep the issues of immigration and the Islamic threat in the forefront and move the eventual government in the right direction.

There is no ‘Right’ to journos. There is only the ‘far Right’ Like Hitler, to them. There is no ‘far Left’. It doesn’t exist to them.

My distaste for lying, partisan media aholes no longer has any bounds.

Can the Moose control their tempers iin France? Le Pen even getting near must move them to rage. Neither the fat lady nor the thin man has sung yet.

Far right to the daily mail. Never any far left characterizations. Why is that?

Le Pen stormed into the final ballot in second place to face centrist independent Emmanuel Macron!!!! But those numbers could change and she could show first....

These were the lines of French citizens voting in London...and even the turn out there was far more than expected.

This is according to “Exit Polls”.......Le Pen may very well prove to actually come in first when the count is tallied....

There’s Belgian polling - they’re not held by French election law. The Guardian is following this in real time with interesting comments. Of course, lots of loony leftists to sort through.

I suspect she won’t become president but I’m usually wrong about these things.

Macron will be the toughest one for her to defeat.

Oh, well.

I wonder how many of those London voters received duplicate voting papers and are part of the French government’s alleged mistake that advantages Le Pen’s opponents?
