Macron wins French presidency by emphatic margin: projections
Reuters ^ | May 7, 2017 | Sudip-Kar Gupta

Emmanuel Macron was elected president of France on Sunday with a business-friendly vision of European integration, defeating Marine Le Pen, a far-right nationalist who threatened to take France out of the European Union, early projections showed.

The centrist's emphatic victory, which also smashed the dominance of France’s mainstream parties, will bring huge relief to European allies who had feared another populist upheaval to follow Britain's vote to quit the EU and Donald Trump's election as U.S. president.

The 39-year-old former investment banker, who served for two years as economy minister but has never previously held elected office, will now become France's youngest leader since Napoleon with a promise to transcend outdated left-right divisions.

Marine Le Pen is doing well compared to her father and up next will be her niece Marion Marechal Le Pen, currently in the National Assembly.

Stay tuned with the elections to come starting next month June 11th and 25th for the legislature.

Not a player? Macron, a BANKER was MINISTER OF THE ECONOMY under the current socialist President, before that he was the French equivalent of the President’s deputy chief of staff. Outsider? Vox is sniffing glue.

Britain needs to expel every last one of these murdering savages back across the water then blow up the Chunnel. It won’t. May talks a good talk on Brexit but it die from within as even May is blind to the true extent of the muslim threat.

To the commies at MSNBC anyone who was an investment banker at Rothschild & Cie Banque like Macron was must be “pro-business.”

Has France secured its nuclear warheads out of the Muslims’ reach?

Don’t forget, Hillary did win the Popular Vote.

Only with the help of millions of illegal voters and the usual ballot box stuffing by the Democrats.

I wouldn’t trust those election results as far as I could throw ‘em. This farce of a “contest” managed to surpass the epic-level attempted fix of last November’s. They were NEVER going to allow Le Pen to win. Every real French citizen should take to the streets in support of a revolution. This installation of an anti-French/pro-EU puppet should not stand.

It’s going to to be real fun in 10 years or so, when muslimes take control of France’s government, and its nuclear arsenal. What could possibly go wrong?

Sorry, but when France is lit up by terrorists, my give a damn is now busted. I wish it was different. I wish they cared about their children, their women, their dogs more than being azz kissers. I wished they were still a Christian nation and not an atheist/ muslim one.

Their future is bleak and full of blood.

Exactly. Impugning the honor of common soldiers is rarely done in person. The Internet has some people mistaking bravado for bravery—they’re not worth wasting electrons on.

Well, unless people are going to Jail for that it means less than zero. Just another talking point that the Left refutes.

Welcome to the “Harold and Maude” Presidency.

I never want to see the Jerry Springer shows denouncing this behavior ever again.

I'm just stating the facts, Jack.

You stated, "Don’t forget, Hillary did win the Popular Vote." like it's settled truth, when it's not. Not by any stretch.

Obama went on television the night before the election and told the illegals, "When you vote, you're a citizen." Subsequent to the election, dozens of threads were posted here about illegals voting in that election.

Yeah, the truth matters, even if the guilty escape punishment for their crimes. We should never condone it, or accept their lying narratives.
