Emmanuel Macron has told French voters to avoid their own Brexit moment ahead of election day.
France will go to the polls tomorrow with a stark choice on the ballot: re-elect the president or swing to the far-right.
He said an upset is still possible if enough people don’t vote and allow the challenger to pull off an upset which would destabilise the continent. Opinion polls have the 44-year-old leading but the margin varies significantly, from a massive 15 points in some surveys to low single figures in others. The socialist took 22% of the total, compared to Ms Le Pen’s 23.1% and Mr Macron’s 27.8%, narrowly missing out on progressing to the deciding poll.
