Most polls in France close at noon, EDST. Results should start coming in around 1:30-2:00 pm, but metropolitan areas will be much later, of course. (To give the socialists enough time to figure out how many votes they need to create?)

It is impossible to get any realistic coverage of this election over here.

Macron went ballistic when Marine said at the debate "a woman will lead France---me or Mrs Merkel."

Macron looks like he just kissed Merkel's....ah...feet.

I thought I had the ability to place not only what country, but also what region somebody was from based on their first name alone. But for the life of me I can’t place the name “Far Right” to anywhere

Macron married his Jr. High teacher - not the same as Andy Hardy and Polly ya know.

"...centrist Emmanuel Macron, a 39-year-old former investment banker, against the far-right nationalist..."

Pretty easy to see what the BBC's agenda is.

Here's a truthful rewrite:

"...globalist one worlder leftist Emmanuel Macron, a 39-year-old former investment banker, against the right leaning sovereignist ..."

EVERY story on this election says “centrist Marcon.”

Most of them say ‘Macron,’ but I get your point.

Btw, did you know Macron is on a gay-male mailing list? There are rumors of a homosexual affair also.

Whoever called Macron the French Obama got it right.

Mine as well is 100% for Le Penn..if for no other reason than where she stands and understands the Islamic threat......Maron does not....France is already very far down the road in their muslim population and appeasing their demands.....if the citizens fail by installing Maron then France will be a done deal for Islam and they will not be able to turn from that.

Lowest voter turnout since 1981. I think this should help Le Pen as there’s really only two candidates running; Le Pen and not Le Pen and I don’t think the “not Le Pen” people are terribly excited.

Assuming there is enough France left to hold an election after Macron might be a little optimistic...

On @ffweekend, @Nigel_Farage talked about the response of globalism to a renewed and growing nationalism.

Well then 'they' will have a tough time figuring it out since Le Pen is at least as socialist as Macron - probably more so.

Macron’s wife should have been in jail. He was only 15 at the time, while she was almost 40. Instead, Macron’s practically said he wants to have a co-presidency with her, because she has ethical leadership written all over her. It really makes one wonder about what sort of man Macron is.
