How every Emily in Paris character would've voted in the 2022 election if eligible🇫🇷 Starting off with Emily- Emily is a BoBo on a comms salary yet somehow affords everything, not exactly the brightest either. Clearly a Jadot voter (Green). Didn't realise there was a 2nd round.

I love the way Americans are convinced their politicians/advisors could win in every country. So delusional. None of these people would win an election outside of America. They couldn't deal with financing, they couldn't deal with local issues, and they couldn't not be smarmy.
