France Votes

The French people are at the polls today voting for a new president. By noon, French time, 28 percent of voters had cast their ballots, according to the BBC-News, a lower rate than in the previous presidential election.

Yet, as the afternoon wears on in France, voters could turn out in larger numbers in the vital election in order to secure a victory for the moderate candidate, Emmanuel Macron, so as to retain the principles of European unity that France has held in the modern years of the Republic.

Any indecisiveness on the part of the French in electing between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, could throw France, the European Union(EU) and the world in general, into a decline.
