French Elections

Who's it going to be then? It's the first round of the French elections today ... second round 7th May. These posters, plastered on the back of a road sign, caught my eye.

With our upcoming trip, I'm watching with a different level of interest. Wishing your country well!

I am getting so sour on politicians in general. The worldwide phenomena is that everyone is full of crap now and they do nothing to disguise it.

Better luck to France, Issi! You, there, have the hate filled terrorists which is worse than anything, of course. The protesters in the US who profess to be so tolerant seem to have a blind eye to all who don't agree with them, and shut down any discourse. I never thought I'd live to see a time when one needs to keep opinions to one's self...rather horrifying when you can't say you support your president. You in France have "trying days ahead"... we'll all follow with interest!

Such unsettling times Issi! I hope the elections go ahead peacefully! Election fever now starting over here - again! Yawn! I just wish voting was mandatory here! Good luck to France!

[Sally Ings]

It seems that worldwide people are unhappy with those in power. I hope that the elections go smoothly.

@taffy @blueberry1222 @Weezilou @pamknowler @salza @helenm2016 @dawnee So, onwards we go to the Second round on 7th May ... Macron vs Le Penn. By all accounts Macron should become France's next President, but I guess now is not the time for him to be complacent!
