Relieved to see Le Pen not getting elected. But don't see how an establishment candidate like Macron will deliver for the people. Capitalising on that frustration, again, FN will come back for the 2022 election stronger, leaving only someone like Melenchon calable of defeating them.
- spiderfarmer 9y agoIf the economy does well in the next 4 years, it will not be good for Le Pen. And I think the economy is likely to do better.
- hyperbovine 9y agoWouldn't the establishment candidate have been a member of either the Republican or Socialist party? I do not see how you can call Macron a member of the establishment except insofar as he is educated and successful.
- mamon 9y agoMacron was working in a Rothschild owned bank, in the president Hollande's administration, and also was a ministry in Socialists government - he's really well connected to the establishment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Macron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Macron
- hyperbovine 9y agoRight but my point is that if you preemptively disqualify everybody that held high positions in industry or government, who's left to rule the country? Idiots like Le Pen.
- mamon 9y agoI didn't say that you should "preemptively disqualify" them, just that calling Macron "anti-establishment candidate" is laughable. Government and big corporations are the very definition of establishment.
