Yep! As said in my original OP, Macron looks like a clone of Tony Bliar but with one difference being the newness of his non mainstream political party. However, one could compare it slightly with Bliar's 'New' Labour Party concept but that's about it. I don't believe Macron is the solution to unify a divided French population but he will halt the hard right from taking power at this time. I reckon Le Pen will 'bide her time', watch for Macron's eventual failure and come back stronger to endorse her insinuations that he was a 'good salesman' but a con man all the same and an establishment pawn 'to boot'. Whether the majority of French voters eventually embrace her style of politics is debatable TBF due to an inherent belief that populism never really solves the inner probs of any nation in crisis and events from past political history generally endorse such reservations.
