Today We Vote


Today is an important day for the French, we get to decide who will be our next president.



First let’s start with a quick look at all the candidate:
- A former judge born in Norway.
- An economy teacher devoted to the workers cause.
- A woman following in the footsteps of her father.
- An essayist who wants France to colonize the moon.
- An union rep who believes capitalism can end.
- A politician who left the largest political party on the right to create his own political party.
- A man who used to be on the right but now thinks the answer lies in the middle.
- A man on the left who announces that change will come with a revolution.
- A man on the left who has been waiting for his time to come.
- A man on the right who believes that nothing is impossible for him.



10 candidates, one choice is supposed to be the good one but what happens if the good choice is not among those 10? The electoral campaign was really not interesting, the leading candidates conveniently avoided all the serious issues like education, employment, health, youth, Europe... The other candidates on the hand kept throwing around silly ideas after silly ideas. The less worst of them will have to be chosen.
While I was writing this, it started raining stones outside, this will give one more reason for people who are undecided to not go vote.
