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previously held elected office, will now become France's youngest leader since Napoleon with a promise to transcend outdated left-right divisions.

Why weep for an alcoholic whose liver is going and won’t stop guzzling. At some point, you have to stop weeping.

Jones was a Marxist.

The goal of the Marxists is to murder and destroy. They even have their own pope now.

Beirut was the “Paris of the Middle East”. Paris is now the “Beirut of Europe”.

I think at least in the medium term the expected Macron win will give a boost to the market.

Le Pen gets immigration right, but that is the only thing she gets right. The rest of her policies do not seem to even exist as she doesn’t know what she is doing. It is the program of the opposition party that never expects to win. Promising free stuff to everyone and not having to worry how to deliver. Very left wing economically.

I’d like to hope that we and maybe the UK has some contingency plans in case the Frenchies decided to do something dumb with those nuclear devices.

I do the French are libtards, she was never gonna win cause a majority would never vote for her. The real crime was the smearing of Fillon, who could have won.

It wasn’t really smearing as I think he really did swindle more than million dollars with his wife’s and kids fake jobs. Shouldn’t have done that! Smaller amounts and the people would have forgiven, but over a million ... yeah ... there must be some punishment.

Elections probably don’t matter much on a long enough time-line. No matter who won the French are in for a nasty re-run of the Algerian War, only this time in Paris and a few other major metropolitan areas. I don’t think that the Islamists can win if it escalates too quickly.

Yeah. Read about the fighting in the underground passages under Fort Vaux at Verdun and say Frech soldiers are cowardly.

Let the French burn. They did this to themselves.
