On the subject of the thread, Macron is the best option French Muslims have out of realistic candidates for President. At least he's only denounced radical Islam rather than all Muslims. Marine Le Pen would probably deport any Muslim she legally can, and now she's been overtaken in polls by Eric Zemmour, who is even harsher on Muslims. He wants to legally restrict all first names to "authentically French" ones.
I think the Muslims have to compromise and adapt somewhat to French society, or else Zemmour will win the election and things will get a lot worse for them.

Is there even a left wing party of note in france anymore?
Melenchon and his party La France Insoumise did pretty respectably last time, but their popularity has fallen by half since then according to opinion polls. Besides them, no. Hollande killed off the Socialist Party as an electoral force.

Really? Is he a realistic chance?
I would say so. While he's just behind Le Pen in this poll of polls, the most recent polls have him ahead of her.

I still assume that, even if one of the far-right candidates makes it to the second round, enough people will close ranks around the other candidate, likely Macron, to deny the far-right candidate.
In regular times, sure. But if there are more jihadi attacks, more people will get scared enough to vote for change.

I remain sceptical.
