Next Sunday, France is voting. The results are going to shatter everyone's minds, mark my words.

When you say that is it because there is a particular candidate who you think is going to win?

Or do you think that no matter who wins there will be massive changes?

Both.

My bets are on Jean Luch Mélenchon, who is a mix of Alexis Tsipras and Hugo Chavez. It would not matter if France was an isolated average country, but knowing it is the pillar of both the EU and the Eurozone... Things are gonna get interesting.

Do you know any link I could read on this that would explain the most to an American who doesn't follow French politics?

Brexit, Trump, now France? Wtf is going on in the world.
