French Election: With just weeks to go French voters head to Le Pen camp

Reports from the grounds suggest that just weeks left to the first round of the election on April 23rd, many previously undecided voters are heading for the Le Pen camp. Many of the voters feel that the other candidates have been in politics and in power and it has brought no god to the country and hasn't improved the lives. Many feel that they have been betrayed by the political class in Paris and in Brussels. Speaking to BBC news night, one voter said that they refuse to vote for Macron or Fillon as they seem like people from the system. While in a TV debate this week Macron called Le Pen a ‘liar’, many voters expressed that it is actually the opposite and they have their trust in Madame Le pen.

Last week one Marine Le Pen supporter painted Macron as an establishment candidate, not in touch with reality, who moves around wearing an expensive Louis Vuitton suit. France is increasingly looking like the United States, where the polls completely failed to capture the possibility of Donald Trump victory. Just like it happened in the US, many forgotten men and women could emerge on the Election Day in France to slap the establishment hard.
