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.

Shows you (((who))) has influence doesnt it?

They are not mainstream

it's not because they're named communist that they are far left, they are not what imagine communists are like and RN is not far right because they're "just anti immigration", it's much more than that

Actually, the communist party has been part of left leaning governments since the 80' and were part of the 'Gauche plurielle' government 10 years ago, when Macron was the economy minister (before creating his own centrist party). So, yes, it wouldn't be the same thing as a far-right government.

they're not, almost party of the left wing allied this time which isn't just the communist but also ecologist and socialist. but the way the communist party is considered far left. That being said they do have some very vocal and present speaker.

Private organisations cannot just send people into residential care/retirement homes to get procurations. Procurations for elderly people in retirement homes are regulated by law, and for residents that aren't mentally able to take decisions on their own, the families in charge must give their approval for any procuration. At any rate individual procurations cannot be handled by any private third party.

Do you think that Macron's side will pull out where they're in third?

​@@TillBarkley Honestly? Hard to tell. I think some will, but not all. Attal, the prime minister, called for a real front, and called for a withdraw if in third position, but other influent ministers and politicians from his side (Le Maire, Berger, or Philippe for example) said that 'oh, it depends, I won't call to vote for LFI (the main party in the NFP). So no clear position, no clear idea, which is a clever move in itself. They don't clearly call for a barrage against the RN which would give weight to the NFP, and they get to say that they did after the election. Like we say in France, 'the butter and the ass of the butter maker'. It's a dangerous position to hold, but they don't lose anything in having it. Except some dignity and trust in the political world, but it's screwed already so who cares

Exactly RIGHT . Macron is such a self centred bastard he will never think of France but his ugly soul.

@@TillBarkley From what I have seen, it depends on who the Popular Front candidate is. If they are from the Socialists or the Greens, who are establishment left leaning parties, they will step aside. If it’s from LFI or other far left parties, they will stay in the race.

Very true ! But the innocent naïve voter in France does not seem to get it. Especially with the PS, they are going to betray Mélenchon *FOR SURE* .

Great point.

@@secretname4190 It is not and that's why Macron is a moron.

OK, so I'm not French, and while the explanation in the video was good, I'm wondering whether Macron's party could either join a ruling coalition with RN or with some other party or parties. Also, it wasn't clear to me what happens if no governing coalition is formed. Does Macron pick the Prime Minister or does a new election need to be held?

In our system the president picks whoever he wants as prime minister. But to make sure this new government does not get fired immediatly, he is kind of forced to pick a candidate from the party having the most seat in the assembly After the second turn, our Law says that a new dissolution of the parliament is impossible until next year.

Yes and no - far right victories in e.g. Scandinavia, Germany, Poland, Netherlands have put the utter incompetence of people who trigger fear as a reason to vote. They need to be elected to be kicked out the next time - the trick is to limit the damage they do in the process. Similar cycle happening with Farage in UK.

In denmark we have a tradition for compromises between the blocks This is hard work but good results are created that benefit all. The far left and far right are in most cases excluded from the deals

Not really, Macron is more a semi-passive passenger rather than a machiavellian politician in this instance. His party losing its relative majority was a certainty. Also, He was already passing laws on shaky ground (using the 49.3 article to force them through Parliament, at the risk of Parliament forcing a dissolution). With Macron's party fall during the EU Elections, the de-facto alliance with LR (Conservatives) would have broke, forcing the dissolution.

@@tomlundquist8093 as they should be. But really I'd love to have compromise between the parties here in Czechia. They're incompetent and our directions lead to the small far-right and large populist blocks. Left is definitely gone now and only centre-right conservatives are somewhat the last pro democracy party. Though, they're corrupt and nonfunctional. We are cooked.

Nowadays normal right is called far right, bc media is owned by the deep state who installed these pro immigrant politicians

She has pitched no income tax for people under 30. This is as far right as economic policy goes before you are straight up libertarian. They're talking about the "de-islamisation" of french society. Which means what exactly? Sounds very much like far right rhetoric à la early 19th century fascism. While her father led the party it was denying the holocaust and talked of deporting 3 million muslims. Marine Le Pen has distanced herself from these last points, but it would be naive to think that the people who supported such policies no longer exist within the party. Maybe the party is no longer "far right", but it's definitely still very right with some very shady characters and open (at some years ago) racists/xenophobes.

Your argument crumbles precisely because the right exists and also want to reduce immigration. Far right is characterised by conservative social values, xenophobia, cult of authority and strong leaders, anti-elite discourse and populist policies. The RN program checks all of these boxes, the right only checks some of them to some extent.

Exposure to immigrants' violence, mass stabbing, littering and just cultural shock.

Mainly the open bigotry against minorities, in particular in recent years blaming anything and everything on immigration. But also the willingness to force other people to go along with their plans even if it destroys basic human rights and the democratic nature of the system.

This is only allowed in case of land invasion by a foreign power or existential threat to the republic. Other kind of problem are solved with "L'Etat d'urgence" pronounced by the prime minister and its ministers. So.. no, our President will not be able to use article 16 to bypass a cohabitation

@@philippedefaria3139 no also when the institutions cannot work. But the definition is probably to be found in the fine lines. "Lorsque les institutions de la République, l'indépendance de la Nation, l'intégrité de son territoire ou l'exécution de ses engagements internationaux sont menacés (1) d'une manière grave et immédiate et que le fonctionnement régulier des pouvoirs publics constitutionnels est interrompu, le Président de la République prend les mesures exigées par ces circonstances, après consultation officielle du Premier ministre, des Présidents des Assemblées ainsi que du Conseil constitutionnel."

No. This absolutely has nothing to do with cohabitation (so called deadlock, which it actually isn't). If those two things happen at the same time, it will be a coincidence. Last time, it had nothing to do with a cohabitation, as you might have noticed. Also, all legal experts are saying article 16 wouldn't even apply, but unfortunately we have a fucked up constitution where Macron gets to decide that pretty much on his own, with almost no checks and balances… and he isn't exactly known for listening to what anyone has to say.

@@elisabethrichard agreed, future will tell us. Anyways no one will have the absolute majority on Sunday. So we will see how it goes 🤷🏻‍♂️

You can’t keep the far right away forever. If they don’t get majority now they will soon. The more goes wrong the more people will realize the far right will be the answer

It is all about cash. Even Le Penn has been payed off by the Cabal. It will be the same with Melanchon. The Cabal will pay him off.

How can that possibly be viewed as democratic? The most popular party being frozen out by parties that got less votes?!

I hear the Ukraine are still looking for foriegn soldiers. Maybe Macron can apply as Brigadier commander.

It becomes an urban legend. Unfortunately the truth is that Macron visited restaurants in the street opposite for 2 hours to actually speak with owners telling him that they were having difficulty recruiting waiters and that they had positions to fill immediately. And the rest, we know it, from there Macron meets an unemployed horticulturist who says he has difficulty finding a job. As we see, it doesn't take much to be seen as an asshole.

The "fundamental issues" aren't adresses by the RN. I invite you to take a look at the insane amount of racism and batshit crazy candidates they have lol

Les français contre les migrants.

Because far-left are the revolutionaries, the trotskists...they do not want to win through election, but through revolution. We do have some far-left candidates in France, but they are only there to show they still exist. Their purpose in an election is not to win, just to show off. They make between 2 and 5% off the counted votes.

Lets just call them what they are Extremists.

These terms are not easily moved measures of popularity. Far right means holding to a set of policies that are broadly and commonly found in far right movements. Le Penn is quite objectively far right.

Far left is not really on the rise and well the far right is a lot worst lmao

Well because the far left didn’t nearly win the elections. I mean if you’re actually an idiot, then voting for RN is smart I suppose. Though in that aspect you’re likely uneducated on history.

What is LR?

​@@vladseva2327Party that came in 4th. It's centrist conservative party. Les Républicains (The Republicans) hence LR.

Any deal with RN will wipe LR off the map. Some MPs might switch over to RN but I highly doubt that the party as a whole will commit suicide like this.

@marciusnhasty are those that agree to work with Le Pen or those that do not?

@@mrgrumpy888 Their only other option is to go with Macron's collapsing central block. Moderate LR can either choose to remain independent with their 10%, or team up with a diminishing force in Macron's party... or team up with RN on specific policies. They really aren't in a position to be picky.

After the first round of the 2022 presidential election, I simply stopped voting because I felt like none of the major political forces at the time were aligned with my views, in a few extremes too much. So I didn't vote for the EU elections, and the dissolution of the assembly was sort of a shock to me, because for yet another time the far right had a serious shot at governing, but it wasn't in second place anymore. So I went and despite my reluctance to endorse some of their more extreme views and representatives, I voted NFP.

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.
