This is a great news, few more years of delusional socialism will open people eyes that this system eventually runs off of other people money. Journalists will not have to travel to Venezuela to get pictures of people on the streets. History will repeat itself again.

Yes, I watched the debate and Macron is much more "libertarian" and Marine Le Pen is much more "statist".

One example: Le Pen wants to block M&A of "French" companies in the name of "economic patriotism". Macron does not want to interfere (he is a former investment banker).

This outcome is excellent for the French economy.

Macron is more of a social-democrat, not really a libertarian. He is for mixed economy with a large public service and some degree of liberalism, pro big state.

Le Pen was the one who wanted to prevent Whirlpool from leaving.
