Nobody can explain that system. I looked it up and still couldn't fully understand it. I asked my French friends and they said they just vote when asked!
As far as I can work out, a candidate can come in at any stage and votes can be redone until there are two left.
How it works is a coalition of the left against Le Penn every time.
Perhaps the stronger candidate and further right one, is Bardalas these days and they're looking for a coalition of the right.
Not actually impossible this time. Although unions, outright communism, state media and a massive cohort of minorities won't help.
And even if they do get in. Obviously, riot, riot, riot. Army will need to be used. They'll probably need another republic. Whichever one they're on, no one knows either.
But ask the question - why would anyone vote against the gargantuan statesman that is Macron? What a guy!
How can you even suggest it's rigged? He's every bit as wonderful as Khan. Our future great leader.
