Congratulations, President Macron. And thanks to the voters of the wonderful country of France for their wisdom at the ballot box. Well done! Europe needs our leadership. The world does.
I guess that means the traditional parties - Republicans and Socialists - are well and truly finished now.
At least this pro-Kremlin lady finally off the track. Congrats to the whole civilized world
Things can change quickly. Just takes one promising candidate at the right time (withe the right unrealistic promises), and socialists might be back. Or a charismatic Republican (with no too big embezzlment track record), and they would be back.
Macron Party came out of nowhere. And might get back there after Macron.
I have to go ahead and disagree with you. The system was designed long ago. And 5 years ago was first time that a "non-centric" candidate made it to the shootout.
Before was typically center-left vs center-right.
Nowadays I would argue that this binary system helps preventing a radical candidate (so far)
