Macron 43.6%, Le Pen 22.4%

[Anthropos]

74.6% of the French electorate voted in the final round of the 2017 presidential election. That is the lowest participation in a presidential election since 1969. 11.5% of the votes were blank or invalid (and the remaining 88.5% of the votes were valid votes for one candidate or the other). Macron's share was 66.1%, Le Pen's 33.9%.

The real shares can thus be calculated precisely as follows:

Macron: 0.746 x 0.885 x 0.661 = 0.43639881
Le Pen: 0.746 x 0.885 x 0.339 = 0.22381119

Would people think differently about politics if media reported the results this way?


EDIT:

The real figures after checking for errors:

Macron: 41,7%
Le Pen: 21,4%

(See post #5 where I explain how.)

I conclude that more Islamist attacks are needed.

But to be serious: this proves that "dédiabolisation" does not work. The problem is that it is impossible for a truly nationalist party to exist ... since the Republic will dissolve this party as soon as created.

That's a landslide win. People are thinking of the now instead of the future enjoying being cucked by banks and debt.. their choice.

One thing I will say....

The degeneracy of values and character that has afflicted us. Should Europe have to confront a real crisis, and European people were called upon to engage in a war which resulted in large numbers of casualties for European countries, I really don't know what the reaction would be. I'm really not sure of what would transpire were Europeans are called upon to suffer the kinds of casualties that occurred in WWII for instance. Europeans have become "soft" as a result of material abundance they enjoyed in recent years: this has given rise to higher expectations as to what constitutes human happiness.. it is never taught due to political correctness but tragic wisdom of ancient Greeks, who knew that human aspirations and expectations were subject to the whims of fate. They taught that hardship and disappointment were the means by which we could grow in character and become better human beings. But alas we see Europeans character overall going backwards at a rate of knots.

So be it.. you made your bed now you sleep in it.

Well, actually they seem to have mixed things up several times. If we treat the 11,5% as a subtraction from 74,6%, then we end up with 63,1% actually voting for one or the other candidate. Then the shares of the whole electorate can be calculated this way instead:

Macron: 0,631 x 0,661 = 0,417091
Le Pen: 0,631 x 0,339 = 0,213909

And this adds up to 100% this way:

Votes for Macron: 41,7%
Votes for Le Pen: 21,4%
Blank / invalid votes: 11,5%
Abstaining: 25,4%
___________________________
TOTAL: 100%

So after checking for errors, these are the real shares:

Macron: 41,7%
Le Pen: 21,4%

I agree with this 100% and I have been saying the same thing about The Sweden Democrats for years now.

Appeasement works to get your foot in the door of the system, but it does not work to gain executive power. Why, one might wonder. It has to do with the fact that the established media and incumbents function according to one set of rules, and the psychology of the people is completely different. If you try to convince a man of the people through appeasement of media and political correctness, they will scoff at you!

Be straightforward and daring, that's the way to win people's HEARTS.


And it is possible... Even though we're walking among many traps.

The french have been irrelevant for long, they have had the most immigration for the longest period of time.
