LD0506 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Vive la France! But this is a small ray of light in darkening times, to even have Le Pen this close is scary. May, Trump, etc., there are dark days ahead. But history will always cheer ya up when things go in the loo, the pendulum swings and remember, all those "let 'em eat cake" types got an up close and personal demonstration of the guillotine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrFan Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) That's the 3rd time we're electing a president by default (Chirac-Le Pen, Sarkozy-Hollande, Macron-Le Pen). We voted against one instead of for one, and we all know we ended up in deep **** with the last 2 ! French political ineptitude. All those lousy politicians caring more about their position, power, instead of making things right, and playing with the devil (FN) instead of really fighting it.. Pros Macron 20 mil Cons 27-28 mil ! (FN + Abstainers, including blank votes) Another round of elections comin' up Edited May 8, 2017 by FrFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way sir, I said in a previous post the only one I would have voted for is Borloo (UDI which stands for center right with a humanitarian touch), but unfortunately he didn't run for it. I'm trying to see the big picture here T+1, the close future, and it doesn't look good. While we are enjoying Le Pen failure (see my previous critical posts about her too) it's time to vote for our national assembly. Macron doesn't have a party, 61% of french don't want to give him the majority at the house, he proved his incompetence while he was in office for a couple of years, he claims to be honest but he already lied before being elected, he's a byproduct of the socialist system he claims to fight. He goes where the wind blows, and by wanting to rally has many opposites (communists, socialists, republicans) to be elected, he will likely fail. See the youtube video it will tell you all you want to know about him in his own words ! He claims to be socialist next interview he said I'm saying to you looking in your eyes I'm not socialist. "I don't give a damn about programs to be elected, the only thing that matters is the vision" (this is rich !). "I claim my immaturity and lack of experience " Strangely the TV medias never displayed this video, Oh the irony ! He has zero foreign diplomacy experience and didn't care to build one. Here is my question who is going to play him the most, Trump, Putin or Merkel ? He is like the others shouting criticizing the FN but doing nothing to eradicate it. As I said previously, that is the 3rd time we're voting against a candidate instead of for, I'm sick of it. They are all the same playing with the FN, the fears, raising french against themselves. Mitterrand started it to prevent the republicans from seizing power and all the socialists tried it after, to the major Jospin humiliation. The FN broke all of his records when socialists were in power, the republicans didn't do anything significant to eradicate it. Nevertheless those socialists keeps on lecturing us about how evil is the FN ! This is basically what I think FWIW, others may have different opinion. Last but not least, do I wish him to fail , eventhough I don't like him, my answer is No for the greater good of this once proud country. Edit: I really hope the russian hack on his computers (french medias aren't allowed to talk about it !) won't revealed any scandal, unless it's going to be chaos.

LD0506 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Thank you, I appreciate a clear answer in place of assumptions. I understand your reticence about Macron, but we are living in weird times, people want politicians that aren't politicians, they want people to run government that don't know how to run governments, they want something something different without having the faintest idea what that should be. I am marginally consoled that the people of France and UK are just as befuddled as Americans are, it's always worse to be the only asshole in a crowd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
