And, for entertainment value:

Whatever the outcome of French presidential election, France is a big Govt Eurofederalist socialist basket case in steep decline and that won't change. Brexit Britain in contrast is dynamic, forward looking and leading on world stage. Which is why so many French have fled to UK.

For context, Macron was reelected on a turnout higher than any British government since ~~1992~~ Blair took over Labour, permanently depressing voter turnout.

Fixed it for them.
