I'm confused as to why foreign governments (former and current) need to interfere with the national elections of other countries.

The left must try and survive by any method, meddling former presidents or assaulting female politicians by throwing objects in their face.

I see your troll and raise you some magic:

Trolling is telling the truth today. Vote ukip - trolling, Obama sticking his nose in - trolling, Lepen getting assaulted - trolling. Hard times

The accusations against Russia are a bit different to out and out publicly posted videos.

Trying to influence results through scare isn't democratic but still amusing for someone who lost give others or trying to appear to be giving advice. Still its trying to influence and sway an election.

Others just normally disappeared and never got involved unlike Obama.

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to say here.

Ahh, mon chéri!

Macron wiped the floor with her in the debate. Showed her up for what she is. Fairly sure he has it sewn up now.

What is he doing interfering with French elections when he and the Democrats preaching about Russia interfering with theirs?

But he's not interfering with the election. He's simply expressing an opinion.

I'm sure the Russians will be happy to explain their reasons, if you ask nicely.

Record low turn out expected for this election. The Euro is also dropping in value as the market gets a little jittery before the weekend vote. Macron still expected to win easily.

A little summary of the two candidates as we go into the weekend vote http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/emmanuel-m...rs-wont-rate-them-economic-competence-1620203

He's trying to influence the result which past presidents hasn't done... That is interfering.

As a nation we need Le Pen to win as unpalatable as it may be.

No just no, we already have a hate mongering orange coloured buffoon in charge of America.

Last thing the world needs is another rabid looney right winger.

We need it for our brexit plans to interrupt the current EU love in that's going on.

If the EU. keep a United front it's going to be damaging to us.

Chris Wilson · 5 May 2017 at 14:57

There's not much unity in the EU whether Marine manages to win or not

They talk a good tale, but it's all fur coat and no knickers.
Brexit WILL really hurt them, whatever spin they put upon it.

Really? She and i mean her as a person, not her party is pretty reasonable for what she stands in front of. Couldn't be any worse than her father.

That is my impression also. She's actually ok. Especially compared to Hollande 2.0
