Macron Beats Le Pen

Right now, I believe that my contention that the "Macron defeat wasn't really unlikely" was incorrect, later all. It's even as well as thus beingness predicted, based on partial results, that he volition grade a 65-to-35 victory over Le Pen. If something changes dramatically, I volition revise or delete this weblog post.

But the information available right away exercise betoken that some 3-sigma fluke was needed as well as thus the probability of a Macron victory was to a greater extent than or less 99.7% as well as the bookmakers own got overstated the chances of a surprising result. I promise that Tom Vonk has kept his bet as well as won some pocket-size interest. On the other hand, my condolences to John Archer who has made a bet on Le Pen.




As Le Pen has stated, a adult woman volition accept over French Republic regardless of the result. It won't hold out Marine Le Pen – it volition hold out Angela Merkel. Or Macron's teacher. Well, the contention that Angela Merkel has taken over French Republic is a chip exaggerated. She has clearly supported Macron as well as she volition exercise goodness from the leader whom she called potent – precisely because she realizes that he's expected to hold out weak.

But at that topographic point own got been some disagreements betwixt Macron as well as Merkel, too. For example, Macron wanted to tending Tsipras as well as his comrades to construct the Greek debt disappear. He volition clearly hold out to a greater extent than left-wing than the High German authorities fiscally – but the French people are to a greater extent than "relaxed" close these matters inwards general. And Macron is a onetime socialist rebranded equally a centrist.

Also, French Republic is going to hold out formally led past times the minute youngest human being ever, later Napoleon Bonaparte.




However, he volition convey similar policies vis-a-vis the European Union as well as migration issues. It volition hold out a continuation of the Hollande years except that voices betoken that all this pro-EU, politically right bias volition larn fifty-fifty worse inwards French Republic – despite the fact that Macron likes to pigment himself equally less left-wing than Hollande et al.

Even moderate Czech political leaders such equally the center-right ODS' Prof Petr Fiala generally believe that Macron won't hold out skilful intelligence for Czechia. He wants to increase the influence of the Eurozone relatively to the other members of the EU. Fiala's boyfriend partisan Mr Zahradil also argues that French Republic volition own got the ambition to dictate policies e.g. to Central Europe. Macron also wants to impose the French minimal reward on unusual truck drivers which volition hold out bad for unusual shipping companies.

Well, I don't aspect also many exhilarating happy intelligence but nosotros own got gotten used to such politicians, I think, as well as nosotros may aspect "more of the same thing".

In 2022, Le Pen or a similar political leader may win if the Islamization as well as European-Union processes volition larn increasingly sour inwards the coming years, if the majority migration plus the terrorist attacks inwards Europe volition larn "revitalized", as well as if the European integration produces additional problems. In 2017, I would hold out close equally probable to vote for Le Pen equally for Fillon. Despite my disagreements alongside her economical as well as another opinions, I intend that the migration as well as EU-related troubles are a superlative priority for France. The results betoken that most of the Frenchmen don't intend that the šit inwards which they own got been thinking is sufficiently deep to justify the election of a candidate such equally Le Pen.

But I own got to congratulate to her to a respectable result.
