On the contrary yes.

Thank you! 😃

Loved your comment. Thank you!

@@EUMadeSimple But do you focus on the pros and cons of all sides fairly?

Totalement d'accord !!

@@florimond. So why do you have a President AND a Prime Minister? I'm a bit confused about that

@@VoidOperator We missed the king. So, we created a king.

@@VoidOperator well the President is the head of state (like the King in the UK but with more power for example), he deals with international affairs, diplomacy and general agenda of the government whiles the Prime Minister mainly deals with domestic affairs (being from the majority party of parliament), he names his ministers, passes new laws, etc.

@@florimond. And interestingly other EU countries that's reversed, the PM usually has more power (Poland, Czech, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lux, Malta, Netherlands, Slovak, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Britian), with the President having administrative and internal affairs. Germany (Chancellor) and Ireland (Taoiseach) are different. The countries with President as head of state is Cyprus, France, Lithuania, Romania (and out of EU the USA of course and others) At least as far as I understand from America, trying to figure out how all the various democracies work.

Glad you enjoyed it

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you!

its the same story in all western countries, sadly

A lot of countries are also sick of France in the world, good thing they kicked the french out. French can stay in their country and not use their former colonies for explotation.

@@TheMolabola explain to me how France still exploits their ex-colonies?

@@TheMolabola The only former french colony I visited was Louisiana in USA 😂

@@TheMolabola dont forget to thank a Frenchman for civilization

Market slave

100%agree, I am from Eastern Europe, Nooooo communism 😩

The French communist party is much more moderate than most communist parties.

Same shit, literally.

So you’d rather fascism over communism?

Communist have no power now, the totalitarist far right party wich want to restrict freedom in fonction of your religion, origin and job seems more dangerous.

*Doesn't say nonsense ( it was a small mistake) sorry

It's only a matter of time, people will only allow their future to get destroyed by the left for so long. Le Pen is the future.

agree "far right" today is used for anyone who does not want mass migration and/or does not want centralization of power in EU and/or is against the war in Ukraine and want negotiations, some have even called Fico "far right" even though he is on the left and many of the anti mass migration parties have a center left economic policy

​@@veronicajensen7690What do you imagine they would negotiate? And why would Putin stick to this agreement?

@@veronicajensen7690 those people aren't the one that said that NR are far right but France legal system said it itself and NR accept it because national rally was founded by a nazi ( lepen father ) also you misunderstood my comment, I'm with the new population front, I was in the anti Afd protest and I support antifa , so I'm a leftist , an engineering student and a good citizen that understand that immagration doesn't hurt anyone, minorities are good for sociality, the problem that the state face are because of the rich and I hate capitalism/ I dislike people that destroy the environment

Néanmoins, il y a eu pour ces élections législatives, une participation très importante. Pour le coup, les Français se sont déplacés en masse dans les bureaux de vote.

@alejandrobasombrio3803 there's two reasons for this. Firstly, the communist party of France is much more moderate than the communist parties you're used to thinking of. Secondly, they are in alliance with a lot of left wing parties ranging from far left to centre left so it ends up being "left wing" in aggregate.

The communist party is called just left because it's REFORMIST. The far left contain revolutionary parties, like trotskists, other revolutionary communist parties, and (ultra left) anarchists

They didn’t change the program since JM le pen’s departure though

That's the narrative the commies who have a stranglehold on the international media keep dinning into us, my friend - you see, it's ALWAYS "far right", NEVER just "right", but ALWAYS "left" - NEVER "far/deep left", we know where their biases lie ... given their propensity, it was a mini surprise that they didn't characterize "l'Action directe" as "peaceful leftists".

The current RN is the exact same as the FN from JMLP. Same corruption, same racism, same antisemitism. Nothing changed.

Mnjah... French people should get what they want and deserve... So this sounds like a good outcome... It's been a while since France took one for the team and showed what not to do anyway.

you can't be serious. Did macron really say that ? i'm so tired of this clown.

@@mecalegrand3542 It's a rumour, but it comes from very reliable sources, and makes perfect sense

You cannot be serious......Europe is dying. Enough is enough.

Not at all. L'Amour Toujours ❤❤❤

The far left parties have ignored the working class for years, and they wonder why they are increasingly voting for opposition parties... Derp

Worrying for who?

How insane are you ? It’s because of certain races that Europeans are being abuse.

There’s no such thing as France leaving in the EU. The EU will collapse without France, simple as.

so you want france to become a shithole like the uk?

Dont force your brexit bullshit on france

I guess maybe fewer than 40% of people think like you then :/

I guess it got even more than this.But a lot of foreigners vote already.

Because it's a far right party and people are still using their brains to not vote for them and go for a more social centered party

Fck communism

Apparently, if you add NR supported candidates in other parties, the number comes closer to 38%. Assuming that very few immigrants vote RN, they have probably garnered over 50% of the French European portion of the populace. It will be interesting to see how the second round splits across France. If the anti-RN forces are too concentrated in larger urban areas, that won't translate into as many seats than if they were better spread out across the country. Also, with a far-left coalition being the main opponent, it's difficult to say how many people would stomach voting for them in round two simply to keep RN out of power. There's still a chance that the RN could do remarkably well, though the big question is whether they'll be able to pull a majority or majority coalition.

Because immigration is destroying Western Europe. Have you been living under a rock?

Because they're not the far-right.

Can be several reasons: - People ideologically align with the far-right. - People vote "against Macaron" instead, which ends up voting for the far-right. - People don't understand what the far-right wants to do, but they want "change", and they vote for something different. - The far-right are promising some desirable things for the people, without mentioning the cost / consequences of implementing these policies. And the average voter isn't familiar enough with politics to know that there is always catch.

@@Khantia Why you call it "far-right" instead of nationalists? There are plenty of far-right ideologies that even oppose themselves. It's dishonest to call them "far-right" when more radical movements like the Action Francaise or the "nationalistes revolutionnaires" exist

Hmm probably cos the far left have ignored the plight of the working class and the silent majority for years. Mass immigration for one, ignoring the threat Islam poses two, calling everyone racist and far right three, trying to erase the indigenous cultures of Europe, more interestedin globalist agendas than national, the whole elitist/self righteous attitude from the left... do I really need to go on... The left need to quickly realise that they are not the gatekeepers of truth and their opinions are not always the right one etc... the quicker they get that into their head the sooner they will be able to slowdown the rightward polical pendulum

In a democracy people get whom they want to govern. In far-Left autocracy people vandalize public properties when Left lose.

like the UK with Brexit, no thanks

@@ef5686 No one will opt for exit from EU. Because it requires referendum. Even people who vote for RN don't want to exit EU. So, no need of Le Pen-phobia.

@@TheIndianTechie007 hey. agreed, but not my point. i was commenting about "LePen getting what they deserved" by paralleling it with the uk leaders who wanted brexit got what they deserved but the people paid for it

@@ef5686 Well... People want it... I didn't want or liked Brexit (the only good thing that came out of that was Johnson's announcement while we were on the fairy to UK so that vacation was a lot cheaper than we expected...) but that's democracy for you... We tolerate such people and don't manage to move them... So let them have it since they want it and let us have it since we didn't do anything to prevent them from getting such democratic ideas...

That's what you think. Bardela is just another gigolo.

Not necessarily the centrist parties since some “anti-system” leftists might prefer voting for the far right than for the center. It depends on whether the usual “left to right band” topology is true or some alternative models like the horseshoe theory is more fitting to the current political trend. What is sure is that it increases greatly the gains of the largest minority. It actually already favoured the RN since they are projected to have over 40% of the seats with only 33% of the first intent votes - (a lot of centrists votes from the first round have been thrown to the trash).

That also why I have never bought into the argument that the two round systems was a better “wall against the extremes” rather than a proportional vote. Yes when the moderates are the largest minority it feels right to (some of) them that their 30-35% turn into more than half of the seats, but when the largest minority will be the far right will they notice the problem? If the system was proportional, a 65%+ moderate coalition against the RN would be already signed and a clear winner of the election.

Is RN Macrons party?

Yeah you right, after all, there is only 12 millions people that voted for the RN, you clearly are better inform. Démagogue.

Yes we do, that's why we voted for it.

What even has Russia to do with this? Haha

Cope and seeth I'll vote RN again

Bs

true, i hope they reveal themselves now.

Absolutely not... Le Pen or Bardella are not racist or antisémite

"Anyone who doesn't vote like me is a n*zi" That gaslighting strategy doesn't work anymore

better late than never

It's clearly pleasing to see that our Europe will soon be one that defends our common values and cultures. Love from France.

I can only hope the right fails, sadly too many people don't think and prefer to fall beneath fear

They will change their mind when the population keeps ageing, immigration will be worth its weight in gold or oil.

Tu as voté quoi ?

@@realdelta4765 NFP, sans grande surprise

Yeah, for 1%

He is absolutely not left wing in the French political landscape when taking into account all the policies he has done. He is rather center-right overall, with few left policies to try to appeal to center-left voters (which has worked in 2017 and also to a lesser extent in 2022).

Macron has done virtually nothing for the left. He’s economically right through and through without a single left policy in 7 years.

France is a communist country in comparison to England or the US, even Marine Le Pen would be viewed as a leftist in America

But the far left isn't islamist. I think youre confused. And may I remind you what happened last time the far right governed in Europe?

@@joelimbergamo639 Did you watch the far left leader speach? He was surrounded by Islamists (like Rima Hassan). They even nominated a "Fiche S" for the election. A Fiche S is a person that is being monitored because he is considered dangerous to the national security. They also surrounded by wokist radical leftists and they want open immigration, more taxes, etc.. The real danger is the far left, not the far right. The far right are not even far right. The far right are the liberals of the 10 years ago. Its the left who shifted far to the left, and no the centrist are called "far right" that's ridiculous.

Islamist are religious fanatic, so far right, left is lot of less religion more real world

@@joelimbergamo639 look what's happening right now. Not 80 years ago.

​@@lilramivert6285 I do, immigration is needed. Not rascism, and foolishness.

Hello I'm french I can respond to your question ! Macron changes the name of the party very often. Before we had " La France en marche", after we had "En marche", and now "Renaissance" ... Everytime the situation is complicated for Macron, he decided to change the name and the logo. Like that, he can say "look my politics change, let's move on and forget the past". I think some big enterprise have the same logic when they are in a bad situation. "Ensemble" is the name of the parliament group, inside you have some center and right politics party like "Horizon", "MoDem" and th Macron's party "Renaissance" I hope I answered your question, have a nice day :D

Because the cost of living is extremely high for some, while the wealthiest barely notice a thing. So educated and working class people want the richest to get taxed fairly. This is generally how us nordic countries function, by having a progressive tax system which more equally distribute tax money. Also theres the issues of racism and womens rights which would get left in the dust if le pens party wins

Because it's a left alliance whereas Macron's alliance is clearly more center-right.

​@@entonberg3945you mean the woman ? That now vote lepen in majority ? You also mean the worker class? That now also vote Rn? Your a liar and you know it. The party is popular cause 1) It's a alliance of a lot 2) work on fear and moral ( the few competent, thag still fought for the worker like Aubry barrely get attention) but that moral allow you to vote for Borne, darmanin and co that you hate 3) immigration and double nationality like myself are allow to vote, witch shouldn't in a sain country, and considering the waves massives we got, naturalisation was handy. ( Replacement yeah) 4) they still have some of the cliché they are for worker as they are left, even of most realise the lie 4) It's won the bigs cities , and Paris alone is almost 1/4 of all voters, witch naturaly lead to an hight amount 5) paris is loved only by It's habitants as It's a trash city except if you are Resident and get well paid or don't have to pay the bank for you'r appartement. The prime minister thing is BS, the only one that Can choose him it's the président, that all thing is a façade as It's just a play of cortesy but Macron have no légal obligation to name any of thoses so, and left rather gonna keep the same than an RN one's even if the actual is popular only cause hé did things RN wanted to do lol.
