Macron is a 39 year old political novice whose policies are already being fought by unions and now Germany. The Eurozone has a greater chance of seeing a negative economic impact with Brexit looming. Germany is not going to do France any favors. And terrorism will continue as more fighters return from Syria and the genie to truck based attacks has been let out of the bottle.



Le Pen doubled the vote of her father and had a sizable turn out in the 2nd round. People are yearning for change. Nationalism will continue as long as the common man (aka the majority) continue to not see wage expansion and increasing, good jobs. And as long as open borders is preached and terrorism continues, these common people will see the elected elites as being out of touch.



Le Pen is 48 and has a long political life a head of her. She's brought in experts and establishment leaders to modernize her platform. Unless France improves all around (something that didn't happen under Hollande and doubtful under his newly elected protégé) Le Pen's positions will only become more and more appetizing to those looking for change.
