The millions of French who plan to not vote in Sunday’s election could help the Front National’s Marine Le Pen to the Elysee, as their loyal supporters are more likely to vote no matter what.
According to polls from the Cevipof, up to 32 per cent of French people will not vote for either Ms Le Pen or the Centrist Emmanuel Macron, which would be the highest number ever.
They will “vote blanc”, which is a protest vote when people go to the polling station to vote but give in a blank ballot paper.
One activist, Rudolph, has described the prudential election as a choice between “two devils: fascism and finance”.
He is one of the many people who will not be voting on Sunday and would “rather take the fight to the streets”.
According to an Ifop poll, which is based on 100 voters for each candidate, more than a third of people who voted for Jean-Luc Melenchon and Nicolas Dupont-Aignan in the first round will abstain on Sunday’s crunch election.
