Can anyone explain to me, like I'm an idiot, why the French hold two rounds of elections?
I'm a polisci major, but I fail to see how this is beneficial to the country.

Some American elections do this two. The idea is to have many candidates face off in the first round as a sort of primary, and then have the top two candidates face off in a winner-take-all second round

I know how the system works, I just don't understand why they do it. Could it be to avoid partisan polarization?

The georgia 6th District just had it's first round. The runoff in Lousianna (2nd?) earlier this year was the second round of a two part election. The California Senatorial election on November 8th between two Democrats was the second round of a two round election. They call a "jungle primary system." I think the idea is to have a global primary, rather than necessarily have each party do a primary. I think it helps when there are multiple parties and candidates, and you want to have a winner-take-all first-past-the-post election system, but require the winner to take a majority of the vote.

It's a two round election. In the first round anyone can run and you can only win it if you get 50% + 1 vote. If nobody gets 50%+1 vote you go to round two.
Round two is: The two strongest candidates of round one clash in a 1v1 and the winner takes all.

Oh if only Fillon were still in the running. He doesn't recognize how dangerous the EU is, but he's reform minded, which would be good for France. But it looks like the media really did a number on him with that "fake job" scandal, and he did himself no favors by apologizing for it. They tried the same hit job on Le Pen, but she knew better than to apologize, and mostly weathered the attacks. now the media's favorite, the leftist the media loves to call a "centrist," Macron, is almost guaranteed to win the second round. He'll be no different a President than Hollande.

She did win, by exposing her opinions and the message being stronger than ever. The people are waking up, and that's already awesome.
Sadly the system is so rigged neither Geert Wilders or Marine Le Pen or any other anti system candidate can exit the EU anymore. Democracy is over, trust me. This week will be the perfect example for you all to see how it works…

There are 4 main candidates. Marine Lepen, far right(natsoc actually because she wants to be tough on illustration while she hates Tafta). It's the most /pol/ candidate.
Fillon, from the Republican Party. It's like the same as the GOP in the US, but a bit more social.
Macron, the globalist scum that needs to lose.
Melenchon, left wing who isn't tough on immigration. The issue is that he wants to spend money we don't have.

I have hopes for le pen. The whole situation strikes me as similar to British elections and the "shy tory effect" where people support and vote for one candidate in private but refuse to publicly support that candidate because they're fed up with being shamed and attacked. Between that and the media's usual dirty tricks, I expect the results of exit pols to be worthless.
Le Pen has my energy, and I hope to have another "that's Xcom baby" picture to rub in lefties faces soon.

Not great but not disasterous. So long as Le Pen stays ahead of Fillon (who she leads by about 1 million votes), then she's in the second round.

the second round is on the 7th may, it's hard to know where the other 50% of votes are gonna go,Melenchon didn't endorse anyone, I guess his voters won't vote or will vote for Macron.
Fillon endorsed Macron so a part of his voters will go to him although it's impossible to know how many exactly, it depends on why the people who voted for Fillon chose him, if it's for his economic polices they're more likely to vote for Macron but if it's for his social/immigration polices they will vote for Lepen I guess

It's not about who gets to the second round, it's about what the headlines read. If they read "Macron wins first round" then it's a sound defeat for Le Pen

With regards to real world political ramifaications, it is about France as they're the ones voting.
Yes they can come out with headlunes saying Le Pen loses first round etc, but that's just part of the general waffle they put out anyway until it means something solid.

I mean that it affects the narrative. When Hofer lost the election in December, the media kept propagating the narrative that "populism was receding." Every paper for two hours had some headline like that. That all changed when the Italian constitutional referendum was soundly defeated a couple hours later

Having flicked through this thread I am still none the wiser if LePen has a chance. How can a person flip from a first round vote on the right to a second round vote on the left. What are the French most concerned about in this election. I am not a fan of LePen but for the best interest of the UK she would definitely be the preferred winner.

The trouble with that is you are expecting the narrative to be written after the event rather than before. The media have a clear goal and that starts well before any result. If they flip it is because that was there plan in the first place. You need to look at headline two weeks to one month before an event to see the real narrative.

Macron = yet another globalist shill favored by the media
Le Pen = Kind of racists and left leaning with regards to economics, but actually cares about France, anti-immigration and anti-EU
Fillon (lost) - Center Right Cuck who was reform minded with regards to economics, but who is now telling voters to vote for Macron
Melenchon (lost) scary candidate who is so far left he makes Bernie Sanders look center-right

Le Pen is literally the last hope France has left to save itself from total cultural enrichment. If Macron wins, France is forever lost.

So from what I can tell, Le Pen is a slightly left remove kebab and wants to pull France out of the shithole that is the EU, and Macron is shit leftist.
Also why do all you French people speak English, is it common for you guys to speak English there in France?

You know what I bet that Melenchon voters will vote for Le Pen. Most of his stuff was about euroskepticism, protecting France and stopping terrorism. And shitty leftist politics. I bet his base will go to Le Pen, even if she's the opposite side of the spectrum.
>>15376
There's some real similarity between the two candidates, but so many modern leftists have this pathological fear that everything is racism and oppression, I can't imagine that many would go to Le Pen

Because the Le Roast Beef are fucking lazy when it comes to speaking another language. At school I only did two years worth of French lessons age 12/13. The whole of Europe have can basically speak English because of our laziness.

I get the feeling that Le Pen has no chance of winning. If I were to predict the Future I can see a time when the English once again have to go to war just to save there fucking country again. I do not think we will bother though. Let the Germans have France this time.

he isn't really anti EU, he never pushed that line as far as Le Pen, I think he's retarded enough to believe that he could renegociate the whole thing without the EU telling him to fuck off. His base cleary isn't there for the economics though that's for sure

It appears to me that Macron will cut taxes to win votes and destroy what is left of the French welfare state. His long term economics is going to cripple the French but they are not going to notice it until it is too late. Are they that backward. He wins and France will not be a country in 10 years time.

Yes, pretending you do not understand English. Like the fucking welsh when I was a kid. They hated us and would immediately revert to the spitting language as soon as we entered the bar. I am sure the welsh only spoke welsh when a English person was in the room. Actually for me the hardest place to visit is Brussels as impossible to know which fucking language to address people with. At least in France I have a chance.

I think in real terms the English language is the best for full understanding of what a person want to say. It is a very strait forward obvious language compared to others. Japanese is a complete nightmare not only because the meaning of a sentence can change to the complete opposite right at the end but also because everything said is unclear. Even being asked if I need a plastic bag at the supermarket is dependant on how a sentence is structured. English is prominent around the world because of its lack of ambiguity.

>what is left of the French welfare state
I'm sorry, what? The French have a massive welfare state. They have taxes at 50% of income. They only the Scandanavians have comparable welfare and taxes. We have just more than half the welfare and taxes in the US and we still have a reasonably large welfare state.

NI=National Insurance is what the English pay into that pays for the welfare state. It includes pension, health, unemployment payments. There are different classes depending on your employment. The more you earn the more you pay. Part of it is also payed by the employer. In my whole life I have personally paid 24,000 pounds in NI and am 4 years from getting a full UK pension if I live until 68. I pay at the moment as self-employed which amounts to about 10 pound a month but still my tiny payments count the same as a person paying 500 pound a month. Fucked up I know. A Japanese person wanting to stay in the UK is expected to pay about 150 in advance to have access to the health care but this does not really count towards a pension.

Should say pension is about 150 pounds a week at the moment so would have to live until 71 to get my moneys worth. Die before that and the government wins. It has already move my pension age from 65 to 68(pending legislation) so effectively stolen 25 grand from me and every other Gen X person.

Sounds pretty comparable to the Anerican Social Secutity system. In the United States, immigrants can recieve all benefits five years after beconing lawful permanent residents, though refugees and some other immigrants can recieve them immediately. Otherwise it's nearly the same

Historically the welfare state of the UK was set up by a loan from the US after the war. We had to pay back every penny and did not finish giving it back until 2008. Just after the last payment the US economy failed.

In the past anyone who came to England could get immediate medical treatment. Other payments were dependant though. Now they need to prove a right before getting anything but emergency care. However plenty of scamming goes on. Media often mixes refugee and immigrant rights but similar I think to US.

How do the French normies respond to foreign governments telling them what to do?
Would Le Pen's chances be improved if members of the American Swamp like Obama and Hillary started supporting Macron?
One can argue that the Brexit movement gained some support when Obama started supporting Remain.

Well clop notes:
1) He's extremely rich and out of touch with working class
2) Rothschild Employee for a long time.
3) Heavy globalist for EU.
4) Wants to ignore Islam violence, terrorism, and won't force them to try integrating.
Literally has no plans for solving issues of working class, immigration, eu, and is an aristocrat.
