As a Brit I think we could learn from this. Though STV might have been easier, and maybe we could come up with a reasonable PR system, but I'm not holding my breath.

In France, for the past 40 years or so, globalists of both right and left have demonized a patriotic party to win elections for sure. Despite the fact that the situation is getting worse, the system has managed to get it into people's heads that if you vote against the patriotic right-wing party, it's like fighting Nazism or racism. This tactic continues to work. What's more, all the violent actions of the left are downplayed. France has become the Titanic, it's sinking and there won't be a lifeboat for everyone.

It's just the national secretary of the Communist Party, Fabien Roussel, who lost in his constituency. There were 9 Communist Party deputies who were re-elected. The French Communist Party was the leading party in France just after the Second World War, but its subservience to the USSR and its electoral alliance with the Socialist Party precipitated its fall in the 1990s, on the one hand with the disappearance of the USSR and on the other hand with the denial of the socialist party which turned its back on its commitments to social reforms.

@@RemplacementTV lol

@@RemplacementTV No need to say more, your nickname tells everything

It also carries the risk of what happened in the 30's, basically, the mainstream parties are playing with fire by not listening to the concerns of the public, but also, the public are playing with fire with giving more powers to the far right. History has shown us many times that when you give extream elements too much power, they abuse it and try to change the system in their favour, usually to the point of making it almost impossible for another party to win power, basically, a dictatorship. Trump tried it in the US, but he wasn't popular enough to push that agenda, but he tried and that should be concerning for any Americans that think about voting him back in, because I'll put money on it that he will try again, knowing that this is his last term in power. Some European countries have tried it, noticeable Hungary which have had some success and in Poland when the PIS party was in power, basically, they consolidate power, reduce the media freedom and make it more difficult for other parties to win at the election, which the elections become a sham and are just there for show as we saw in Russia not so long ago. Just like you said, the 1930's, Hitler didn't come into power by chance, the 30's was the decade of the depression, that likely got a lot of people very angry and when people get angry, they get reckless in how they vote, we might be seeing the early signs of that in Europe and North America now., in other words, voters better keep a close eye on the far right that they don't try to clamp down on the political system to favour them, and the same for the Republican Party if Trump wins power. Also, one last thing, did anyone notice on the last election how Trump said that if he didn't win, the Democrats rigged it against him? The reason he said that is because he wasn't going to take no for an answer and was trying to build an angry mob to force the issue, and they did try by attacking the House of Representative, Americans were really playing with fire on that one, because if Trump had enough public support, he would be in a much better position to intimidate the system and get them to change to how he wants, he wasn't popular enough to force the changes he wanted, but he still tried, this would be very dangerous if any of the radical elements gain a majority like a landslide, because there would be very little to stop them pushing there agenda apart from the majority of the public rising up to them, which things would really have to get bad for that to happen. Either way, you can't help but feel that history might be on the verge of repeating its self, which is no surprise to me, the human race is very quick to forget history and the warnings of what can happen.

The communists are a very rare species indeed ,and the French "socialists" are known as "social-democrats "in other European countries.

Nor the Left Right. we are no longer in 1945, the most extreme today, Mélanchists are way more extreme than RN. France is just screwed with extremist pro-Islamists, man ^^ RN is no more the most extremists for a moment.

The left managed to win by compromising with center. They can negotiate. Unlike RN who lost 10 elections in a row because the majority of the population has what is called "a brain".

Far Left is the answer then? Islamic jihadists are the answer? Persecuting christians, jews and other non-muslims is the answer? Sharia Law is the answer? I wonder how long before Notre Dame is made into a mosque

In the U.S. you don’t have to reregister each election and you are never required to say who you voted for if you don’t want to (some still consider it impolite to even ask unless it was a pollster asking - but people overall are increasingly willing to share who they voted for, in part because for many it has somehow become part of their identity in these highly polarized times). You register when you come of age and normally only re-register if you move (change address) or if you wish to change which party (if any) which you’re registered with. I said ‘normally’ because there is a movement by one of the parties to, shall we just generously say, ‘be overly zealous at “purging” presumed deceased or moved voters from local registers’ and manage to inevitably end up “inadvertently” getting current but inactive voters swept up in the process and “by accident” it’s always happening in areas that favor the other party. 🙄

​@@gregweatherup9596 but your élections system have a big fail, your house of representatives do not allocate seats to minor parties such as your green party etc so you are still stuck in this eternal right left divide and you doesn't create your 3rd way by having all of your minors parties as your central coalition for break with you duality between the right and the left and the major problem réside on your mentality of "The winner takes it all" that we doesn't understand in France.

@@Bapterion01 Although I mostly agree with you, I’ll raise 3 points: A) What does that have to do with my particular comment here? I was addressing misconceptions about the secrecy of the ballot and registration procedures. Why was your comment addressed to me here? B) Our “minor parties” (“third parties” in typical American parlance) are truly minor. The best a third party has done in recent House elections was in 2000 when the Libertarian party managed to get 1.6% of the total vote, and that was rather anomalous (in the last 3 elections the libertarians have gotten 0.7%, the Green Party has been 0.2 to 0.1%, the Constitution party sometimes gets 0.1%, and no other party has reached even 0.1% since 2014). Thus if we had a proportional system they would fall below any reasonable electoral threshold. (Of course the counter argument is that if we had a different electoral system peoples voting behavior would be drastically different). In the recent history of our lower house (house of representatives) we’ve had 3 truly independents win competitive elections (Bernie Sanders in Vermont 1990-2004 before he switched to the Senate/Upper house - and 3 of his 8 weren’t really competitive), Jo Ann Emerson in Missouri’s 8th in 1996, and if you go back to the early 50s there’s also Frazier Reams in Ohio’s 9th. Technically there’s 1 more case of someone who originally won election under one party, then switched to Independent and won as an incumbent independent (Virgil Goode Jr in 2000- though it wasn’t really a competitive race) and some of the non voting delegates from the territories are officially “non partisan”, but’s it’s understood which party the individual candidates align with, so none of those are really independents who won in competitive elections. As for actual third parties elected to the house, ignoring non-competitive electoral fusion candidates out of New York (ie William Carney in the early 80s & the surprisingly 3-way fusion ticket of Vito Marcantonio in the 30s & 40s - though his last 1948 election was competitive as he was no longer a fusion candidate) you have to go back to the 40s to find any truely competitive race where true 3rd party candidates won any seats in competitive races. C) France’s National Assembly is really only one step removed from FPTP - in your second round all triangulaires & quadrangulaires are “winner take all”, so the concept is clearly not that foreign to the French.

Problem is the so called moderates often tend to dismiss all opposition as "extreme" while they may not be. For example here in France the State's Council (Conseil d'Etat) determines the political orientation of every party depending on what they stand for. And so the National Rally is considered Far-right (reminder here that this party was founded by former Waffen-SS, other French Vichy collaborationists and war criminals from the Algerian decolonisation war) while the NFP, as long as the France Insoumise (Mélenchon) are considered Left, not Far-left (they are reformists, while the far-left wants a revolution).

@@TheJegan94 You are right, LFI is just left, Mitterand is his reforms was much more extreme and yet not even considered extreme left. People who call themselves moderates (basically right, believing in austerity, flirting on many levels with the extreme right) is the reason why the RN is rising.

The problem also is here in France, Macron's been president for 7 years and in his medias he has constantly complained about the leading left wing party "France Insoumise" and while only pushing (moreso in the last 2 years) very unpopular laws using 49.3 (basically a veto) it only resulted in a big growth in popularity of the far right.

Idk how can you look at the crime rate and "refugees" harassing regular citizens and the growing persecution of anyone who's not "progressive" and think getting rid of them is extreme.

We need at least a 3-axis system to map the politics One of them should be a Globalist - Populist axis

It's very different between France and Usa : In France every of our political officials have the same chance to be elected president of the Republic regardless of the age of the candidate. In USA there is many criteria for be elected president of the Republic and then many of your officials haven't this chance.

​@@Pingouin250 He's a crazy leftist, don't listen to him.

So Coalition with NFP? or Cohabitation with the NFP? Are they likely to have to go again in 12 months? or can they make it work?

Everything is up for grabs, a cohabitation is inevitable I think, whether or not it will work, that is a great question. I guess we will see, the nfp has a very precise program for the first 15 days and then 100 days, if they stick to it and macron doesn’t play too much the a**hole, it can work, but i won’t be surprised if he does, and in that case, we’ll meet again in a year 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@antoinegulbol6171 It will never work. There's no program. Just utopists measures. Just as the militants don't work as human being. Just look at the streets where NFP militants gathered and shouted how they won the election. Look at the street and how they trashed it. Look at the statue, symbole of the so called "Republic" they claim to defend, where they sat and tagged outrageous statements, with no respect for the history of our country. And that's when they "win". They're just here to destroy themselves and our identity with it. Nihilism at its best. NFP is not capable of creating, be it with the politics or the mere citizens voting for the said politics. They're only corrupting and destroying. Once again, we witnessed it. But hey, there's dangerous right wing fascists. Sure. Beware, fascism often lurks in area we have no idea of. Just like Rokhaya Diallo, who's out there to take the seats of white people in the NFP. You know, too much white people. Plus about Macron doing what Macron does, you voted for him and NFP took their candidates out of the equation for "Miss 49.3" and Darmanin, just to name the most famous. So please, no lesson on "sticking to it". You helped Macron and he helped you. So don't whine you got what you vote for my friend. Saying it can work, speaking of NFP program, with all that in mind, is really hypocrite.

@@antoinegulbol6171 I think you're forgetting something here : True, NFP got the more seats. But they're 100 seats away from any absolute majority. And without this, not only can't they pass any law (and you need one to "undo" the previous laws they were against), but they are exposed to any vote of defiance from the Parliament. In short : any "too left wing" government wouldn't last very long. Same goes for the far-right RN. Paradoxally enough, the only one who could find a working coalition in this mess is... Macron (or at least his party), by uniting "moderates from the left" and "pragmatists from the right". Some LR and UDI representatives already hinted in this direction. It's a very twisted mecano, but it could work, in the end. Only problem : it will infuriate 2/3 of the voters in the country :D !

@@emeline02 ??? Care to explain that ? Last time I checked, We only voted twice (2 rounds for the legislative elections). And if you're talking about the European elections, there was only one round, and the winner was actually the RN, not the left...

Well, on the principle, during the first round you’d vote for the candidate you like best and during the second round for the one you dislike the least. So it’s not really like the elected candidate is accepted by more than 50 % of the constituents but more like the loosing candidate is rejected by more than 50 % …

Vive la Commune de Paris

Well to be fair most of what Macron built is austerity reforms and selling government properties (and privatization rights) to his former employer (a huge french bank). And most of his laws were passed by using a loophole in our constitution allowing him to bypass our senate's ruling (but is supposed to be used only for times of military crisis) He is the cause of one of the biggest times of civil unrest in France since the revolts of May 1968. And his party allied itself numerous times with the VERY Far Right 'National Rally' against very common centrist reforms or in favor of heightened security laws and less accountability for the Police Nationale (not the cops from Gendarmerie Nationale - which is a military branch usually properly trained - but the Police Nationale which is independent and have many times made highly unlawful and harmful acts against citizens and left leaning parties of the 'opposition'). Which resulted in many LAWFUL citizens being illegally beaten, permanently blinded, losing limbs, or sometimes even killing bystanders or endangering children in school. But NFP did keep their word to desist themselves wherever their presence on the ballot might get the Far Right elected. Macron's party at first said they would, but in most cases chose not to (and then lost all those seats to the Far Right)

"Moderate leaders" ? Whom are you speaking of ? LFI ? Green ? Macron ? Who's moderate there ? "Coalition between left and center". Yes exactly. Doesn't that ring some bells for you ? Immigration, naturalization, no borders, more UE, erase french culture in this world melting pot utopia ? Yes, they're both working on that. Two sides of the same coin.

The French upper house, the Sénat, is not elected directly by the people, but rather by the members of regional parliaments and local councils. Half of the Sénat is elected every 3 years - the last election was last year, so the next one will be in 2 years.

Senate are the guarantor of the institution with the constitutional court. They voting system is made to be slow to change and resilient to "mood swing" or extremism. The above comment explained the how I wanted to highlight the why.

These parties rise when society is already divided beyond repair not the opposite. Nobody wants to face the problems making them rise so they will. Blame the root, not the fruit.

Note that in France, it is the constitutional council which defines which party is extreme or not. He checks whether the ideas professed are compatible with the republican principles enshrined in the Constitution, and therefore whether their program can be implemented within the framework of the Constitution or not. The National Rally is thus described as an "extreme right" party because its program cannot be applied without several modifications to the Constitution. “La France Insoumise” is not a party described as “extreme left” because its program can absolutely be applied within the framework of the Constitution. There are therefore 145 far-right deputies and no far-left deputies in the French National Assembly.

Maybe, if they were not called extremes, this could help. The only extreme in France is le Rassemblement National. Because they want to destroy the republic and are from the Pétain governement during the 2nd WW occupation. The left, in France is now sorts of Bernie Sanders.

Yeah, the RN even had a candidate who said once in power, they will abolish the rule of law in order to pass laws that would otherwise be not allowed by the constitution, like racial laws. (luckily that candidate lost in the 2nd round, but I'm sure his point of view is shared by others who won)

The RN is asking for such discrimination, between citizens who would have only the french citizenship, and those who would also have another citizenship. Both are french citizen, and therefore the constitution doesn't allow you to discriminate between the 2, but the RN wants to do it anyway. We also had a RN candidate who said in an interview that there was a distinction between the french citizens by law (the ones who have the citizenship), and the "french people" (his expression), the ones who he said were the "real" french. Later in the interview he mentioned that just looking at the people was enough to make the distinction between those who were only french by law, and those who were truly french (implying it was visible on their face, by either the color of their skin or what they wear)

It seems that a lot of europeans want to leave europe and I don't blame them, your leaders only care about foreigners. Hopefully we'll see a change and have leaders that actually care about their people. Otherwise europeans will have to find home in countries not yet ruined by open borders and islam
