With just days until France goes to the polls and either re-elects 'extreme centrist' Emmanuel Macron for another term or chooses to elect the controversial far right leader Marine Le Pen at the third time of asking, we discuss the issues behind the election with our guests Florent Jarry and Professor Nick Parsons.
We look at the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the cost of living crisis, the electoral death of mainstream left/right parties, the future of Jean-Luc Mélenchon and, of course, Brexit.
