Is France heading for the same sort of divisiveness we see in the Uk? I.e. Approx 50 percent happy formore EU and globalisation or  50 percent moreFrance.

So, Macron wins.

Turns out that his Mrs used to be his teacher and is 25 years his senior. He was seeing her while still at school. In most countries that would possibly be a career killer, in France it's a badge of honour !  ;D

Shame, I think Le Pen winning would have been similar to putting a very hungry and starved cat, locked in a room with lots of fat pigeons.  ;D

The real story of the French election should be that over a third of French voters spoiled their papers or left them blank.   :o

Of course the main stream media are so busy applauding Macron's victory over the extreme far right's Le Pen that they have conveniently overlooked this.  ::)

I can see the young President quickly running into trouble and soon being as unpopular is Hollande was after a short time in office.
The French economy is a basket case and he may not have a clue how to begin to put it right.
If Merkel stays in power, she will more than likely see him as a young fool who she can manipulate like her personal puppet.
It could all end in tears sooner rather then later.
Personally I couldn't give a toss. Its only France.  ;D

Normally I would agree to some extent, however I do think that a Le Pen victory would have been better for us in the Brexit negotiations. As she would possibly have embarked on a Frexit track, the EU may have needed to be less heavy handed, whereas Macron is likely to fully support the EU.

I fully agree with that. In fact if Le Pen had been elected it would probably have been the beginning of the end of the EU.
Her day may still come.
