The political landscape has changed rapidly since the UK voted Brexit and Donald Trump landed his shock election win. Now it’s time for the French to decide their new president, Jean-Luc Melenchon is not resting on his laurels.

Critics called it a headline-grabbing gimmick that obscures his firebrand politics, but is Mr Melenchon on to something?
