Emmanuel Macron Wins French Presidential Election

Daily Mail: 'Five more years!': Emmanuel Macron SMASHES far right challenger Marine Le Pen by 58 to 42 per cent amid low turnout as unenthusiastic French vote for centrist in choice 'between plague and cholera'

* A big question was how many of France's 48.7 million eligible voters wouldn't cast ballots out of apathy

* The choice between Macron and Le Pen was compared to deciding 'between the plague and cholera'

* Le Pen, who was behind Macron in the opinion polls, was pictured casting her ballot Sunday morning

* Macron watered down a campaign pledge to progressively raise the retirement age in France to 65
