Since Marcon is so new to politics, and his party only started last year, how will he build a coalition when he beats LePen?

Have established politicians joined his party?

In the US, the Tea Party came from behind to put a bunch of neophytes into office... who then totally failed, because they had no connections with other politicians, no relationships with any of the people on key committees, and generally unable to get meetings with the actual people who get shit done.

Is Marcon seen as someone that people can get behind, or is he simply "not LePen"?
