France new boss has an interesting story with his much older wife that started when he was her student while attending high school.

If she's a hard core leftist, that will make for jucier Manchurian Candidate stories than with President Obama.

As I understand it, poor voter participation left a LOT of folks on the sidelines in France. Possibly the lowest turnout since 1981, but before all ballots have been fully counted and compared.

France also seems to have far lower big brand social media participation(Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).

France has always been a Western outlier in terms of mass media, entertainment content, and internet/social media.

At one point France had their own domestic "internet" called Minitel that still had 10 million connections less than a decade ago, before it was shut down capitulating to the global internet.

Despite all the hate directed at major internet social media properties, particularly their leadership/shareholders......which way do users actually vote?

France a western outlier(under consumption of non-French western social/media content).

France has an outlier(to the trend) election.

Correlation/causation?
