Thank you very much for sharing this context, it's really helpful!

I just had a conversation with a French friend whose opinion on the election and the design of the institutions closely matches what you're describing.

I'm a little ashamed to say that albeit having learned French quite a long time in school and considering myself to be interested in the affairs of your country as a German neighbour I had hardly a notion of how polar your presedential election process and the public discours around it and related policies by candidates seems to be set up.

Thanks again for building this!
