00:00Well huge political change on the way in France it seems with the Macron French government reeling
00:06after that huge landslide AFD victory in the recent Saxony-Arnhol election. Another example
00:15by the way of when it's establishment governments commenting on other countries elections that goes
00:21by completely unremarked and seemingly uncontroversial. Hilarious isn't it? But in terms
00:27of France well Marine Le Pen of course is the favourite to win and become the next French
00:34president. She's pushing a national preference policy for French citizens and you can see here
00:40the quote that with us the French regardless of the colour of their skin or religion their origin
00:46or their residence they will be prioritised in their own country saying it's morally right and
00:51should be legal but those who belong to the national community should have more rights in France
00:56than the others. Now her main rival is emerging now as actually being the veteran left winger
01:04Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Now a big part of his platform is to just write off, cancel, freeze part of France's
01:13colossal national debt effectively to set fire somehow to a large chunk of the public debt of France. Now
01:23of course that's come in for a lot of criticism and you're talking about a public debt of around 3
01:31.5
01:31trillion euros but it's looking like the presidential runoff could be between Mélenchon and Le Pen and
01:43that is because the data is still showing. Right now that is the most likely outcome because you can see
01:51right now Le Pen would be ahead in the first round by a country mile 33 to 36 percent. If
01:57no candidate gets
01:58over 50 percent in the first round it goes to a second round and you can see here Mélenchon is
02:04seen
02:04as reaching that second round runoff against Le Pen and at least three of the five scenarios polled with
02:12Le Pen then beating him easily in a runoff contest. So that is how things continue to shape up in
02:20France.
02:21Please do let me know your thoughts on that in the comments below. Please do whack this video a quick
02:24thumbs up
02:25and of course as ever. Cheers for watching.
