Yeah I'm not sure the 120,000 odd civil servants he wants to sack voted for him!

Small c conservative though, I'm not seeing the imposing of morals that is the Conservative way.

so nothing changes then..hollande 2.0 , in fact he is likely to be even more sympathetic to large corps, but its France so w/e. Id expect Macron's approval ratings to tank to equally low records.

Here's some broscience for you...
Masculine European men tend to vote right.
Feminine/non-masculine European men tend to vote left.
Masculine Immigrants tend to vote left (but display non-liberal behaviours).
The demographics of France are very different to USA/UK regarding the masculinity/feminity spectrum. Euro Frenchmen are very calm and diplomatic. They tend to be frail and not display much masculinity or dominance at all. In USA the values are roughly 50/50, and the UK tends to lean strongly towards being more masculine as do countries like Russia.
The average UKer is much more likely to chant "chop the hands of theives!" than a Euro Frenchman, or a German or a Swede. The French immigrant Arab or African is also likely to chant this but will almost always vote against right wing polititians - which is analogious to Muslims in the UK (who are right-wing/conservative by nature) voting for Labour (left-wing).
Given this broscience the result of this election is pretty obvious.

And they will suffer for it sadly.
Not as badly as they would have suffered if they had gone the other way......which was no chance since she got trounced.
Is that actually confirmed as it's stated as 'projected results"on the BBC website? Surely they can't actually declare the outcome until they've finished counting votes? That's a bit preemptive imo!
Exit polls, she's conceeded

It's bad news for the UK though. Would have been handy to have someone sympathetic to brexit in charge.
Maybe they will maybe they won't.
Can they really be relied upon as I'm sure many of the le pen voters wouldn't admit to it? Seems odd when the polls got it so wrong with brexit and trump.
Well I wasn't wishing a detrimental outcome to 67 million people just to temper the negative effects of the idiotic decision 17.5 million people made in this country
They didn't get it 'so wrong' with Brexit and Trump, they were far far closer in the polls than Le Pen has been.
