Re-election for Mr Macron would defy critics of his imperious style of governance. In his way stands a resurgent Marine Le Pen, whose focus on the rising cost of living has matched the national mood. Internationally, the presidential race will be analysed as a barometer for the strength of populism. For much of the campaign Mr Macron looked like a strong favourite against Ms Le Pen—on course for a comfortable victory in the event of such a contest, if perhaps not as comfortable as at the last election in 2017. What do you think about Macron’s Governance structure?
