At almost any time in his Presidency, it was obvious to all that he only got the position because of the Party he headed. But that Party has totally fallen out of favour, hence no chance of entering the second round of the election.
Whilst in the UK, many Labour supporters are liable not to vote Labour just because Corbyn is at its head. Whilst many will vote for the Tories because a woman is in charge.
Politics is being rewritten in many countries at this time.

Re: European Elections 2017
Perhaps unfortunately for this side of the channel, Macron is likely to be a premier of world significance if intellect translates into performance in leadership (and assuming he is elected). Our politicians are going to have to be at the very top of their game imho.

It's a wonder I can still see.

Re: European Elections 2017
Obama sticking his nose in elections again endorsing Macron candidate in French Elections. Wonder if he billed Macron $400,000 later on.
But can it be third time unlucky? Call it the Obama curse, given he went for Remain in Brexit Referendum and Hillary Clinton in U.S Elections.

Re: European Elections 2017
Quelle Surprise....
Macron's e-mails and other documents have been hacked and leaked online: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-fr...-idUSKBN1812AZ
Just ahead of the election.

Because no one is 'squeaky clean' - there is always something, no matter how minor, that can be blown up out of all proportion...
The timing is the thing - whoever released this has had the info a while, but are releasing it to affect the election; that's damaging to democracy (unless they did it to all sides, but that, strangely, never seems to happen...).

Re: European Elections 2017
They said it might be fake. With the election today and the campaigns forbidden from political communication there isn't enough time or coverage to be able to vet the documents. Instead the internet and social media can go wild with rumours. Already there are a large amount of seemingly new twitter accounts with frogs for avatars that are making all sorts of claims about what is in there.

Re: European Elections 2017
Sorry Hugh, although I agree no one is entirely squeaky clean they could handle leaks/hacks like this better.
At present the reaction to this is to go immediately on the defensive which has a negative effect. It gives people the the opinion that they have something to hide.

Any attempt would have had to be made long before now.
