France’s two non-traditional presidential candidates offer voters a big choice: stay or leave the European Union. Emmanuel Macron is a former economy minister and Marine Le Pen is the leader of the National Front party. The two will face each other in the May 7th election, after finishing first and second in the first round of voting on Sunday. Macron, 39, and Le Pen, 48, finished ahead of candidates from the leading French political parties, including the party of the current president. Le Pen wants French voters to follow Britain and vote for France’s exit from the European Union. She also calls for major limits on immigration. Macron wants France to remain in the European Union. He promises new spending on job training and building up roads, transportation and less-polluting energy.
