Fillon seems to have mucked up and should stand aside whilst there is time to repair the damage.
I recon MLP will get the largest percentage in the first round (the rest being split too many ways), with Macron second. So I agree, I think Macron second round...
Unless Fillon gets out the way but that doesn't look at all likely

betting odds are abit crap atm for Macron, might wait abit for them to lengthen, brexit, Trump and Macron might make it 3 for me.

Macron seems ok. TBH I didn't like Fillon at all anyway but did like him as reasonable bet again Marine but he's not even that now

Plenty of first generation immigrants are not voting how they have voted in the past,what did trump get 10% of the immigrants votes not many republican have got that many before

Macron would be good despite being an ex investment banker and marrying his school teacher, he understands the left and right of French politics a lot better than most and his polices are generally sensible. But he is more like an independent who has set up his own party, so it will be tough going for him.

I am not quite sure of your point? Are you suggesting that in your opinion british immigrants are likely to vote for MLP?

No what I am saying is immigrants are not voting how they have in the past,people that moved to another country 20 or 30 years ago are now voting to keep out new ones as its causing problems in their settled community

So your saying Brit immigrants from 20 or 30 years ago may vote MLP to prevent the ongoing surge of Brit immigrants?
I think I can agree with that possibility .
