It will be interesting. But the numbers won't be meaningful, be they small or large. By definition, it can't represent people who--by principle or temperament--believe political differences should be resolved through debate and elections, not on the street.
If a vast number show up, it might cause a few Yellow Vests to ask themselves whether they really speak for as many people as they think they do. But I doubt it. I just don't see them saying, "Oh, goodness. People are fed up with us! I suppose we should stop."
Those organizing this say they speak for the "silent majority." I suspect they do. But many silent people are silent because they don't like demonstrations and marches. Or because they have kids to care for, or jobs to go to, or homework to do, or grandparents to visit.
