President Macron! En Marche! Hi! I guess the 'monopoly' ni juu I happen to be working on our global political history and some of the engineering of events and outcomes that have been used by major political actors. And also boredom. I have less and less to post nowadays... Le Pen is likely to win, mainly because: 1. The non French actors supporting Macron are the actors who'd like Le Pen to win 2. The EU so far, appears to be on false grounds. Consider the terror in economic circles due to the ineffectiveness and inefficiencies of considering economics as a science. There are reasonable grounds for French citizens to wish to regain their country 3. This reason is connected to the first; if Le Pen wins, then it will be likely for Israel to get support for its goals in Palestine and globally. Remember what happened after Trump won? Israel annexed more land. This is probably why Hamas is playing a counter to Israeli ambitions by making some concessions Macron, is a bait. It's a war that we're watching, and all war is about deception. Ah! would you like us to have a wager? If Macron wins, I buy you a drink or something. If Le Pen wins you ....

I hope the creatures at IEBC and politicians watch and learn from such countries.
Polls close at 8.00pm and because they are well organised, "free & fair", exit polls can reliably report the results; 10 minutes later, the losing candidate has already called the winner to congratulate and concede! and life goes on peacefully.
Will we ever reach there??

Finally, the world is coming to its senses. I was surprised to see that you could vote blank if you did not prefer any of the candidates. I think that's better than abstaining to vote by not showing up yet you wanted your voice the be heard.
BBI will solve it :)

Called it perfectly,...even CNN came to the same conclusion http://edition.cnn.com/2...inion-ghitis/index.html
My 2 predictions: 1) UK with Theresa May at the helm is going to get it rough with Brexit negotiations ...EU was driven by a strong Franco-German cooperation in its earlier years, and that dynamic may be returning with a Merkel-Macron duo, especially if Merkel sees off Schultz later in the German election ... 2) Republicans lose their majority -poisoned chalice this new healthcare legislation -the farce unfolds. I am a bit miffed Trump is imperceptibly moving towards the center, I wanted him to carry on full-stupid-hardcore-right so that we can have proper entertainment. This hara-kiri by 2 great countries is fascinating to watch. Sometimes a great slap delivered by fate is the only thing that can cure people of stupidity.....

It is a rare display in this day, falling as it is during the silly political season here in Kenia, and where no "sane" individual acknowledges defeat. You lost the wager but earned my respect. Felicitations are in order.

Will we ever reach there?? Would you mind to elaborate what was free and fair in the French elections, I mean what can we learn from them in that regard, of late iebc has been streaming live election results and the provisional results are known before the next day after the polls, what am I missing.
