The centrist party of French President Emmanuel Macron looks on course to win a landslide victory following the first round of parliamentary elections.

As polls closed, projections showed La Republique en Marche (Republic on the Move) set to win more than 400 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly.

Good time to be a bad guy in France.

[DoughtyOne]

Centrist...

Good grief...

Now the islams can really be themselves in france.

Better this way. Macron has no excuses for not performing, and no one can straighten out the French labor market. If he cannot get Germany to agree to a joint budget, he is finished before he even gets started. Some things you just have to go through, and this is one of these times for France.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

So France has basically voted to hand the country over to the muslim crazies.

[Cowboy Bob]

Good news is that the Socialists are expected to win 20-35 seats. Hollande did for the Socialists what Obama did for the Democrats. LOL!

France and England are about to enter the Shariafun zone...I don’t think they survive...so long its been good to know ya!

[setha]

Election? The second round is no more than insurance for an establishment candidate’s coronation.

[dfwgator]

Sad to say in France, that is ‘centrist’.

[DoughtyOne]

LOL

[SoFloFreeper]

Within 50 years, the area we currently call France could very well be called either “Germany” or “New Islamistan”. The people hate their own history and heritage.

Pray for spiritual awakening in that land.

[EinNYC]

France just oui oui'd themselves.

[AlaskaErik]

When the elections are all over, Macron will still be Merkel’s bitch.

[Truth29]

How long before the Muslims are given control of the nuclear forces by a compliant dhimmi French government?

[Spiridon]

What Marine Le Pen and the Republicans of France and so on were noting is that only 49 percent of the voters showed up to vote.

There is resignation to Macron running the show in France.

His ersatz reform party”will do what the big bankers and big corporations want including keeping the doors open to cheap labor and terrorism crossing the border.

Workers in France will lose jobs, lose hours of work etc. etc.

50 years? I think more like <10 years.

[burghguy]

What do you expect from the biggest group of surrender monkeys on Earth. Good bye France.

[Nextrush]

The Corporatists win one in France it looks like.

I just was over at the “Daily Mail” site for some coverage.

They say with 94 percent of the vote counted “En Marche” (Macron) has 28 percent of the vote, the Republicans at 16 percent, the National Front at 14 percent, the Far Left at 11 percent, the Socialists reduced to pauper status at 9 percent.

The FN was split in its ranks a bit because Jean Marie Le Pen (Marine’s father) backed 200 candidates under an alternative nationalist banner in the election today.

Those candidates will not make it to the second and final round next week.
