French Election Results: A Runoff Between Monsieur Macron and Madame LaPen

    The earth shook and the result is a runoff election next month between to top two vote- getters.  The entire EU breathed a sigh of relief.   Brussels thought it might survive another year or two.   French voters now can expect a new political landscape when the results of the next election are tabulated.  Polls indicate that Mr. macron is heavily favored to win the contest.   A former Minister of Finance for Mr. Hollande, he does not represent either of the two popular parties that have governed the nation since the beginning of the post-war period.
