There are a few things to consider, Macron was pushed forward by the elite whereas Le Pen opposes a lot of it. It all depends on whether the people can see through. Of course Le Pen could always be a decoy.
When you say elite, who do you mean really? Mist politicians have wealthy sponsors whos agendas they push, neither candidate is an exception. I know with certainty LePen didn't fund her campaign out if pocket (in fact, she had some fundraising help from Trump's camp).
This the age of decrying big interest, while being in bed with it. At least, that's been the modus the last few elections.
Strange days people, strange days.
