Wow. That was fascinating. Thank you for going into so much detail! (And for using the European comma in numbers! I miss that... it's so exotic to see "9,3%" rather than the American decimal point, "9.3%". I know. I'm a simple man, with simple pleasures. lol) Now I shall cross my fingers and hope LePen gets crushed in an anti-Trump landslide of French pride.
Thanks ! She should be crushed, but the population is really divided, what’s going on in many heads is something like this: --> I really don’t want Le Pen --> I don’t want Macron, I don’t want to make him think I support his program by voting for him, I don’t want him to think that if he wins by a landslide it’s because there is a lot of support for him --> Should I abstain? --> If too many people think that way we are going to get Le Pen --> Let me die. So it’s probably going to be something along the lines of 60% Macron – 40% Le Pen, where 30% of people who voted for Macron did it despite not adhering to his ideas. And there should be around 20%-25% who either abstain or vote “white” which means neither candidate.
