The large majority of French voted for Emmanuel Macron
Again.. 21 millions out of 47 is less than 50% hence not the majority. The majority stayed away for good reason.
Sorry but I cannot take this easy way out as an answer so I will repeat my previous question : was there any other option for you ?
Hi everyone this is my first post on this site and I had to do it because of a few scary posts I've just read about The French elections.
Last, many of us French people believe that our young, handsome and brilliant new President embodies values likely to give hope for the new generations. I may be wrong but why not give this young man a chance ?
And NO : gays and women are NOT beaten everyday by Muslims in France. I could not believe reading that kind of s**t on a gay site but I guess there are pro-Trump, pro-Putin, populist alt-right gays after all …
Peace people and do not let hate pollute your minds :love:
I try to agree with people whenever I can. I do agree that Macron is young and handsome. If watching porn, I would much rather watch Macron than Marine Le Pen.
As for everything else you said. Nonsense. The entire history of France is corruption, hypocrisy, and division. You sell weapons of mass destruction to anybody who will pay for them, yet condemn any actual USE of the weapons by your rivals. France always despises their own leaders, going all the way back to the kings and Napoleon. Basically, France is a country of mercenaries (ever heard of the French Foreign Legion?). France thrives upon terrorism.
HOWEVER, I must point something out. Quite often, the people who exhibit the WORST behaviors also exhibit the BEST behaviors. Certainly France and Germany have done a lot of terrible things.. but France has also done some of the best things. And as for Germany, the technology of the world advanced by leaps and bounds with WW2. There probably would be no jet airplanes nor men on the moon without the contributions of people like Werner Von Braun and Albert Einstein (Einstein was German by the way..) Ironically.. Hitler was NOT German! He was Austrian. Those damned Austrians! bad bad bad!I apologize in advance for offending any libtards with the true facts.
No offence taken but one question though : are you for real ??? :afr:

Many of french ..yeah well not me and not most french who didnt even voted yesterday because none of the 2 were an option( 21 millions votes against 47 millions registered to vote ( in 2012 about 10 millions were not even registered so… ) ). Record of all time of abstention and null vote ... and yes you are indeed wrong ;D

The large majority of French voted for Emmanuel Macron so yes that makes a lot of us even if abstention was indeed high. And as you and I well know, 2002 and 2017 elections cannot be compared since Marine Le Pen took over her father's party and gained strenght over time. I think people have become distrutful of politics (I guess it does not only apply to France) but Macron has reconstructed the French political landscape, no more two-party system and this should be opening a window of hope for the future. Was there any other option for you ? Fillon was locked in a political impasse and Mélanchon not much better than Marine Le Pen with his far left populist program.
BTW how do you know I'm wrong ? Can you read the future ? 
Hi everyone this is my first post on this site and I had to do it because of a few scary posts I've just read about The French elections.
Firstly I want to say that I'm a French guy who proudly voted for Emmanuel Macron on Apr 27th and May 7th. Marine Le Pen was NOT an option as she was clearly not a republican candidate. Remember "Liberté Egalité Fraternité" ?
Second, eat your hearts out British friends but there are still people who believe in Europe, no Frexit for us thank you

Excellent first post!
Welcome to the Politics and Debate section. Don't let the sometimes-craziness get to you- and pull back when you feel you are getting too heated. Otherwise, have fun! And congratulations on your promising new President! Vive La France! :cheers:
Thank you for your kind words brianboru72 
I loved your first post on this topic and honestly your positive perspective encouraged me to reply to the naysayers. Peace :love:
