Emmanuel Macron, who started his party a year ago, has won France’s presidency at age 39
“There are indeed similarities among Macron, Clinton, and Blair, mainly in their shared belief in a third way—a vaguely centrist yet progressive political outlook that posits both the far left and far right have got it wrong. The trick is to be socially liberal and fiscally conservative. If only the parties would abandon their extremes and come together somewhere reasonable in the middle, all would be well. Macron calls this posture radical centrism. It’s an unfortunate oxymoron, but in this election, against far more extreme views, it struck the right balance for moderate voters who still wanted to feel they were fighting for something.”
Macron’s age takes nothing away from his accomplishments. It burnishes them.
