The Coming French Revolution
A second-round electoral face-off between the National Front’s Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron would be a political watershed for France.
If Le Pen somehow comes out on top, French politics – not to mention the European Union – will be turned upside. But even the ostensibly moderate Macron represents, in his own way, a truly radical stance. With both candidates likely to make it to the second round, France is on the verge of a political revolution, regardless of who wins.
