Just out of curiosity, is it commonly thought outside of France that Macron is anywhere close to left-wing ?
He's been campaigning for a week on a plateforme that's basically just "The left is just as bad as the far right", several of his ministers have clearly stated that they would vote blank in case of a duel between the left and the far-right in the runoffs, and he's repeatedly called the left a "danger for democracy"
