Consider that 55% voted  for a different candidate in the first round. Marcon has no real party apart from slogans and his policy platform has been criticised for being uninspiring, vague and more of the same. Will he be able to create a party before the legislative elections and who will be the prime minister? This is a victory for the status que and that they have to hide behind someone like Marcon - is an indication of just how deep the malaise is within French politics. That his victory is being celebrated by the political establishment and its clerisy in the media (mostly as non Le Pen) - is indicative of how out of touch and clueless they still are about what is happening right in front of them...
