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...

Third Time's The Charm?

Nicolas Sarkozy is rumored to run for the 2017 French Presidential Election. After losing the 2012 election to François Hollande, Sarkozy is back and lobbying for the Republican nomination to fulfill his second five year term as President of France. 

There are multiple candidates running for the 2017 election however, only a few pose a threat to Sarkozy. But, should Sarkozy worry about his opponents or his past? One of the downsides of running for re-election is that people have preconceived ideas about you and articles on your past endeavors are passed around like candy. 

Do you think Sarkozy's campaign will be strong enough to win the election or do you think his time is over?

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."

Trump contre les Français?

Let’s talk about what has everyone’s attention across the world, the U.S. Presidential Election. You know the one, with Donald Trump running for president. In latest news the republican nominee has suggested an extreme limitation on immigration for those entering the U.S. from countries that have had a history of terrorism. Of those named was France. He proposes that this solution will protect the country until there are more secure vetting techniques. The land of the free, the land of opportunity! At least that’s what we thought. We all understand the immediate move to protect the people and the country from all of the horrendous things that are happening all over the world. The question is will this honestly help? Will turning away the hundreds and thousands of people that enter the U.S. help protect the nation?
