Underdog To Become The 'Big Dog'?

Can Emmanuel Macron Win The 2017 French Presidency?

Being only 38 years old, Emmanuel Macron could become the youngest elected French President. Macron just resigned as the Minister of Economy to be able to run in the 2017 elections. 

It seems as though people are completely torn on whether or not they think Macron has a real chance of winning the election. Some say that his lack of political party affiliation can hurt him while others think it is refreshing from the standard right wing vs. left wing. Also, he may have an advantage of people voting for him simply because they do not want Hollande or Sarkozy to win. 

But, will this be enough for the underdog to win the election? Only time will tell...

Far Right? Or Far Wrong?

"An American Election is a World Election"

In light of recent political activity, the French-American relationship continues to be strained. President Hollande reinforces his disapproval for Republican American Presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Hollande stated that "an American election is a World election" which could prove to be interesting if far-right Front leader Marine Le Pen runs in the upcoming 2017 French presidential election. Hollande believes that if Le Pen and Trump win, "It could lead to a very strong turn to the right in the world."
