That can only come as a relief ....

Has Macron declared himself yet as I haven't seen anything and the closing date is tomorrow, 4 March ?

I haven't seen anything either, but the idea of him declining to participate at this time is unthinkable (for me).

He's declaring himself tonight according to BFM TV.

I have to laff. Hollande has commented that Mélenchon would be a "useless" president!

Well, I don't know about the left, but TF1 has just had a face to face debate between Zemmour and Pecresse. The two people trying to run the "debate" were struggling to control the 2 candidates. It was awful, the two debaters constantly interrupting each other, arguing like children, raising their voices .... it was laughable and I can quite understand why many politicians will not do this sort of thing on live TV.

That's why I didn't watch it! I really can't stand the weasly Zemmour and VP is not much better.

I was going to say the opposite - sounds like good TV!

(Also can't stand them though, totally agree on that!)
