View original postBut will he be able to govern? He could surprise you. He definitely needs to address the problems and challenges of globalization for the French. At least the markets are stabilizing now that the future of the EU/Euro is a bit more certain.
He could surprise me, and I hope he will. But the challenges facing him could hardly be bigger, so I'm sceptical for now. If he manages to win a good amount of seats in June, it'll become a lot more feasible, but if he doesn't and has to cobble together majorities from PS and LR seats on everything he wants to pass... it would take a once in a century political genius to really get a lot done.
So it will be Macron vs Le Pen after all

I don't think so either, but I've seen surprisingly few polls on that so not quite sure.
