Is France on the brink of a political revolution? Marine Le Pen, former leader of the Front National, has made it through the first round of the French presidential election. Another outsider Emmanuel Macron, is now the only person standing between her and the Élysée Palace. A Le Pen victory, however unlikely it may seem, would be a political earthquake for the European Union. Should we welcome a shake-up in the cradle of European revolutions?

With Melissa Bell, Anne-Elisabeth Moutet, Robert Tombs, Jonathan Fenby and Dominique Moïsi. Presented by Andrew Neil.
