French Elections

[cassa333]

No link I'm afraid but the only predictions I could find is that Macron had got 60% of the vote of those coming out of the polling stations.

Are the Grench more honest in the exit polls ?

" Mrs. May will have to be really tough " what do you think she may do J?

[-Talbot-]

Walk away leaving the EU with no nose if she has to.

[ichkeria]

A good result for France and also for Britain. The last thing the UK needs is a raving nationalist for a neighbour.

[-Talbot-]

He has said Brexit is a crime

crime
charge with or find guilty of an offence.

I can't see how this is a good result for Britain.

annea - with Macron in power there is absolutely no chance of a resolved settlement with the EU. He will push everything against us (including the border). In a way, it simplifies things - we assume 'no deal' and can act accordingly. Mrs. M. must now act accordingly.

Yep a toad beat a frog. Mind you toads are poisonous.

Macron's been quite lucky. He left the previous administration just in time, saw the socialists collapse, the republicans shoot themselves in the foot by picking Fillon, when they should have gone for Alain Juppe, and ended up in a run-off against a frankly unelectable opponent. She did worse than expected and i wonder if the events of Friday, as well as her disastrous election debate, had some effect

[Khandro]

This is great news and an enormous relief for Merkel, along with Jean Paul Junker and the rest of the Brussels racket, a welcome opportunity to kick the can down the road for a bit longer, by which time they will all be nicely retired on enormous pensions and Europe will be shafted.

[youngmafbog]

Best result we could have. This will mean the UK will have no choice but to just walk away from the EU with no 'deals', just as we should.

France however is most likely shafted. Let's see what happens when they have the election for the MP's, at present he has no backing that could leave him weak and exposed. Not good for anyone.

[Togo]

Should be fun when he meets Mrs May. What with him being a Frenchie with an Oedipus Complex, and she a vicar,s daughter. Oooo la la.

[anneasquith]

I wonder will Mrs. May hold hands with the newly elected Mr. Macron ?

[-Talbot-]

What an excellent question that is, anne. One I'm sure everyone has been pondering over.

[Berniecuddles2]

[anneasquith]

True but it won't be the first time and we won the last one.

[anneasquith]

And will Britain win AOG ?

Nationalism : loyalty and devotion to a nation.

What is wrong in being a nationalist we could do with more in this country?

/// And will Britain win AOG ? ///

Well as I have already said, we won the last one, but then we possessed a much greater pride in our nation, than the vast number of anti-British we now accommodate in our country do now.

[anneasquith]

I see no similarity between the last war to Britain leaving the EU ?,
