Melenchon's sharp increase is worrying and if more Hamon and other left leaning voters decide to back that guy then...it could be catastrophic. In the Wikipedia page of French election polls it shows even Melenchon beats Le Pen.....it must suck to be her

The problem with Right wingers and protectionism may hit the world economies.
The Liberals had a network around the world, though different countries, they hold similar views.
When it comes to Center right and far right neither of them likes each other. Similar example can be drawn from the ordeal between Malcolm Turnbull and Donald Trump.
 
Today is a great,but also an important day.

In some hours,France will go to the polls to choose the two candidates that will face each others to then become the President of the Republic. This election is very important as it will determine the fate of our country for the next five years,but also the fate of the European Union as a whole.

Let's hope for the worst not to happen. @flamer84
Let's also hope for the vote to happen peacefully without any major incidents.

Good luck to you and good voting. :tup: @Taygibay @HannibalBarca @Louiq XIV
