French Presidential and Legislative Elections 2017-News and Updates

[LA se Karachi]

So,Hamon won the Socialist's primary for the presidential elections. Let's see some of his projects.

French Socialist's remedy for France: Work 32 hours a week and tax robots

Tax robots, a 32-hour work week and €750 a month for all adults, can these radical leftist ideas work for France?

Do most people in France work approximately 35 hour weeks?

Do most people in France work approximately 35 hour weeks?

yes but you've got 39 hours for a good part of the pop too

did i just see that? tax robots?
like this type of robot?

yes but even robots as in search engines and such, not only physical robots...

With Fillon getting into scandal it seems Le Pen will be the winner. She will surely get into the 2nd round. But at this point I doubt Fillon can defeat her.

It would be interesting to see a contest between Le Pen and Macron, but I doubt it will happen.

Monsieur @Vergennes , can you tell me about the current state of the race?

Any possibility of Benoit Hamon may pull off a surprise?

I've heard Macron is gaining popularity.

Looks like the ones I mentioned, are having some good time.
Based on what I read online, Macron seems like a real possibility. His policies seem sensible too. Implementation is different tho. Hamon's policies look like a wet dream to me(Maybe that's because I'm from a poor country, but still they do look unrealistic to me)

I hope to visit France(Paris and maybe Tours and Strasbourg depending on my wallet) first week of April. Have been saving like a miser to be able to make the trip with my

Hello.

I wouldn't trust much polls,even more after the recent elections in France or anywhere else. But talking about them,Marine Le Pen is leading while Macron and Fillon are neck and neck,not so far behind. Fillon is trying to be destabilized because of his wife's affair and some elements within his party are already thinking about choosing another person to replace him in case he gives up. Many socialists and MPs are thinking about supporting Macron.

We'll talk about his policies when we will know all of them and that his project will be clear and complete. Even if he wins,this would be interesting to know how he is going to implemente them and with which majority in the parliament ?

Hamon's policies look like a wet dream to me(Maybe that's because I'm from a poor country, but still they do look unrealistic to me)

He was elected by socialist voters because of his ideas like an universal basic income for adults,(€750/months),the 32 working hours per weeks and many others,but about basic income for everyone,this is of course a wet dream. Such a measure would cost the country between €400 and €500Bn each years,how is he going to fund it ?

You are welcome here ! Tours and Strasbourg are two great cities,you're not going to regret it.

Indeed.

Fillon is trying to be destabilized because of his wife's affair and some elements within his party are already thinking about choosing another person to replace him in case he gives up.

I don't think he is going to give up but the scandal hurt his chances hugely imo.

Yeah...he's like the media's favorite now. Media couldn't get Hillary win in USA, lets see about France. Macron is much more likable than Clinton imo.

French version of Jeremy Corbin
Corbin very little chance in UK and I don't think Hamon has much of a chance in France either. Hamon is good at debates, I heard.

You are welcome here ! Tours and Strasbourg are two great cities,you're not going to regret it.

Thanks. I really hope I can make it.
I better travel as much as I can before 2018. If I leave after the Swedish election I doubt they will let my south Asian self back in again.

Strasbourg is my city

Things to see in Strasbourg ...

La petite France which is the part of the city where you can still find old houses.

La place Kleber named after a famous general of Napoleon.

The lovely Cathedral (one of the most beautiful Cathedral you'll be able to see in whole Europe)

The European parliament

The pont Vauban (a bridge built by a military engineer named Vauban) to protect the city from the river.

and many other things ...

@Philia Well,seems like En Marche ! is fully ready for the general elections as they will present 577 candidates which goal is to build a majority.

The French voters have generally always given a majority in the parliament for the party whose candidate won the presidential election. Interesting times ahead.
