Scientist, who predicted Trump win, says President Le Pen ‘very likely’

Nidra Poller in her column French Presidential Campaign: Why It Matters noted:

Why should you be interested in the French presidential campaign? Because it might as well be going on next door to you. We are facing the same major challenges in a similar state of confusion. The differences are circumstantial, the stakes are the same. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Our freedom is on the line.

Westmonster reports:

A French scientist who called Donald Trump’s upset election win is now describing the prospect of a Marine Le Pen victory in France as “very likely”.

Whilst Le Pen is currently polling in first place in the opening round of the election, every poll has her losing in the second round to either Emmanuel Macron or Francois Fillon.

In contrast to this establishment narrative Serge Galam, who is a researcher with the French National Center for Scientific Research, said: “Obviously, nothing is done yet but her election is becoming very likely”.

Galam insists that these polls don’t take into account those who may not vote or likely turnout overall. Polls have consistently shown Le Pen’s support to be far more solid than Macron’s as well as more likely to turn out on the day.

“The polls show this: People who want to vote for Marine Le Pen are going to vote for her. And a lot of people will vote against her, but in that group, there is a lot of reticence.

“I just argue that we should be realistic about abstention and the role it’s likely to play,” he says.

The establishment could be in for another dramatic shock…
