Please, no. No no no. And I'm not the kind of person who talks a lot about politic things, but be sure that I'll vote and do what I can to prevent that to happen. Otherwise, I won't recognize my country anymore...
That. Exactly, Luth :)

(Necroing this from way back when).

We're still stuck with the TrumpsterFire and damage to this country that will take decades to undo, but France avoided voting for the fascist.  So there's hope of some sanity in the world.

I think that success came from their two-tier voting system, in the second tier Le Pen lost by a landslide, although in the first tier her and Macron seemed almost 50/50, as far as I could understand from the article I read.

Is a personality cult starting here ? Woah, woah.... :D

Luth: in the first tier, Macron, Le Pen, Mélenchon, Fillon (in this order) each got +-20% of the valid votes, the remainder spread between the seven other candidates.
In the second tier, the proportion was roughly 2/3 vs 1/3. Good news. The abstention was about 25%, unusually high for the second tier of presidential election (the second highest rate since the beginning of the Vth Republic). Meaningful and worrisome news. Out of the voters, some 10% chose to vote "white" or "blank" (what is the English word for this "I don't like any proposal" vote ?).
This means that slightly less than 50% of the electors voted Macron. Not very good news for him. And also that about one quarter of the electors supported Le Pen, either out of genuine support or out of disappointment of seeing their initial choice discarded. I don't like that last piece of news, at all. :(

Last weird thing my cats brought in was a feral guinea pig. There are lots of them around here, and since they are big and comparatively slow, the cats get them now and then. I wish they would concentrate on rodents - we have a mouse plague building up at present.
