France’s wild presidential election is up for grabs — and the populist wave of 2017 has not yet run its course - Salon.com
'In a face-off between Macron and Le Pen in May, the former would probably win, as Le Pen remains too divisive to win an outright majority. '
'Macron made millions of euros in his banking career at Rothschild (paging Alex Jones!), making him a perfect foil for Le Pen. '
'While Le Pen openly wants the European project to fail, Mélenchon advocates a “democratic reconstruction” of European treaties. '
'Le Pen has branded him the “candidate of finance,” while Mélenchon has called him out for being in the pockets of big donors. '
'In other words, despite presenting an image of change and new ideas, Macron wants to continue down the same neoliberal path that Europe has followed for the past 30 years. '

Anyone but Macron, I'd rather have far-left Mélenchon, at least he would shake up the Eurozone. Ideally Mélenchon vs Le Pen or Fillon vs Le Pen, but Macron is a globalist puppet.
