This means that with only 16% of the electoral list in the first round, you can win the presidential election.
The French president has a huge power guaranteed by the constitution, so with 16% of the vote you have all the power of the state.
Macron will try go get elected again, and he will need only 16% in the first round if the situation doesn't change.
It's bad, but it could be worse. You can vote with your conscience for a viable candidate in the first round, then vote for the least bad in the second round.
Elections to Westminister are first past-the-post, so you are trapped between choosing between two bad options with any deviation helping your least favourite party.
