All Eyes On France Election After Terror Attack
April 22 2017 By Abiodun Giwa
Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron
Marine Le Pen has become a candidate to watch among contenders for the president's office in France, following Thursday's terror attack in Paris, and the death of a police officer.
This is because successful terror attacks have become one of the major factors influencing elections in the western world.
Le Pen is said to be more forceful on her promises against terror in France, and that has put her on the same footing with Emmanuel Macron, who polls consider as front runner.
For this reason, debate have started among curious observers about whether or not the terror attack in Paris during the week will factor in, in the the outcome of the presidential election just days away. Many observers say it will, giving the perennial of terror attacks against France.
Development after the terror attack and President Ronald Trump's tweet about the likelihood the role that the terror attack will play in the election, has also caused a new debate about outsiders influencing outcome of elections in other countries. Remember that the debate about outsiders influencing elections in other countries began with the outcome of the United States' elections, when the Russians were accused of interference in the elections to favor Trump, who won and became the new president.
Manifestly, many people believe and say that terror has become a major influencer in the outcome of elections, because argument for the soul of voters in many western countries has shifted in favor of who will better protect the homeland among the horde of politicians seeking office.
Political parties and politicians, who have least tolerance for terror attacks are considered for office in countries that are prone to terror attacks, and politicians who don't think getting tough in the defence of the homeland against terrorism is a necessary remedy stand little or no chance of winning elections.
It is a matter of common sense that voters desire safety and security above all other needs. One has to be alive to enjoy anything that politicians are promising to offer, if voted into office. France has clearly suffered more terror attacks than any other country in the western hemisphere. Terror attacks have not only been more consistent in France than other countries in the hemisphere, terror attacks in France have been more brutal than in other countries.
Although, the fight against terrorism ranks second to jobs among voters, according to Angela Charlton and Jeffrey Schaffer of the Associated Press, in a report published by AM950, but that the scars of terror and how extremists' attacks have damaged France cannot be ignored, as capable of influencing voters.
Whoever emerges the winner of the presidential election in May, definitely has daunting work waiting on how to tackle terrorism and keep the French people safe. Thursday's terror attack has changed the setting and Le Pen is seen as highly formidable and Macron too hopeful.
