Fingers crossed for France

I thought they weren't allowed to publish results until after the polls have closed in France at 19:00 UK time. Possibly a hoax.

I was just told its the results of the three overseas French territories, haven't seen the Quebec one yet, though Quebecoise I have spoken to who are eligible to vote don't like macron.

At midnight on Friday, France enters a period of “electoral silence” during which French media are barred from quoting candidates or publishing opinion polls to ensure they don’t unduly influence voters. These rules also apply to candidates and their teams, who are strictly barred from campaigning in the last 44 hours before voting ends on Sunday. 

On election day, polling stations in mainland France close at 7pm in most places and at 8pm in the larger cities including Paris. That one-hour lag, which used to be two hours in past elections, is crucial to pollsters who are expected to crunch the numbers and project a winner in time for the 8pm gong.  

Unlike in most other democracies, where those projections are based on exit polls, French pollsters base their estimates on ballots that have actually been counted. Those estimates are updated throughout the evening as the vote count progresses.

The overseas territories votes are in and they are overwhelmingly for Le Pen, a complete turnaround from last election.

Dosent mean mainland France will vote the same, but I think it will be closer than expected.

Cheers.

I think it is a spoof.

I don't think the way the voting has gone will be in the UK s best interests.

Agreed. Macron is rabid anti-UK. He blames Brexit for ruining his plans to change the EU and he is no friend of Britain.
