French Presidential and Legislative Elections 2017-News and Updates

[Vergennes]

Today is the decisive day of the election !
In some hours the French will head to the polls to choose between two different candidates with radically different visions for our country for the coming five years.
At 8PM (local hour) the face of the new President of the French Republic will be revealed.

So,who will occupy the Élysée palace during the coming five years ?!

She's massively down in the polls, 20 odd points ? Almost a foregone conclusion at this stage, if they're not rigging the polls.

interesting analysis here:

^ pretty good channel for European politics in general.

You want to stay in EU ?

You want to stay in EU ?

Not so long ago I had a bad opinion about the EU. But I believe now that it's a chance. Of course the actual EU is not sustainable anymore and I hope that Macron (if elected) can propose new alternatives and initiatives with our partners (Germany mostly) to rebuild completly the EU taking into account the people's opinions. He said it would be betrayal to let the EU function as it is currently.

I also don't believe we will be stronger alone instead of together. Especially in a world with rising giants.

Seems like the results from the overseas territories that voted yesterday were revealed. @Philia @LA se Karachi @ValerioAurelius

The turnout rate at 12PM for this second round was 28,23%. (stable with the turnout rate of the first round at the same hour.)

When I voted the last time in Sweden, two thirds of the voters I noticed were voting for the feminist party, but they did not even make the 4% cut.
Making predictions from just three people is bound to fail, lol...

This was no prediction...just an observation...

Yeah you voted. The tunisian, french, italian, inuit, martian, atacameno, papua newguinean aboriginal.

For all who didnt know yet. Our good Hanni is evrything. Once a Tunisian national he later on turned french as he said he voted there and then later on was also italian and voted here in Italy as well. He claims to be evryone...when reality he is nothing at all? :/

P.s.: I have a friend from Nice and he voted lePen and says all his family did so. But southern france always was the more realistic french.

 

[HannibalBarca]

Seems someone is butthurt... But as for Italian vote... I can do so...but I don't really care of their outcome...no ties with such country... but since jus sanguinis is involved I can't do otherwise

And yes... mutiple nationalities do exist...
