The French Election Results Explained

2 күн бұрын

France recently went to the polls for the first round of the General Assembly elections, a critical event featuring key political figures like President Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen, Jordan Bardella, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Macron's centrist platform faced significant challenges, while Le Pen continued her far-right push, aiming to solidify her influence. Bardella, a rising star in the National Rally, sought to attract younger voters, and Mélenchon galvanized the left-wing base. This video will explain the details and implications of these election outcomes.

There's a detail seemingly overlooked by many, when looking at national scores. RN and NFP both had candidates in all 577 constituencies, but Ensemble, Macron's coalition didn't. They strategically withdrawed from a lot of areas, in favor of moderate candidates from the left and the right. So despite scoring less than NFP on the national level, they managed to get second place in lots of places. Won't win them a majority, but that was never the goal for Macron. He wants one thing, a parliament where he could manage to find a majority with moderates from both side, so he can widen his base. It's clearly a long shot, but with his dissolution he changed the narrative. In 2022, every other party was campaigning against Macron, as he just won the presidency, and traditionally the president get an absolute majority. But he failed at that, and we had for 2 years a parliament with an absolute majority of deputies hostile to the government. But now, with his seemingly low score, he's not even considered the challenger. So those who're gonna get elected next sunday will have campaigned against RN, and his party could still find themselves as the second largest group in parliament, since the NFP will split up to seat with their respective parties after the election.

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.

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.

@jugel4533 Күн бұрын

Just to clarify something for 4:06 : this isn't really the case Melenchon asked for 'no more votes nor seats for the RN', and told their candidates to withdraw if in third place. The policy is clear, no need to explain further. Macron, on his side, called for 'a large rally clearly democratic and republican' against the far right, which may sound similar. The thing is that, for months now, and even more during this campain, the strategy of its side was to call the NFP 'extremists', 'antisemitic' and say that they're trying to dismantle and destroy the republic, even saying himself that a NFP victory would lead to a civil war. By saying 'clearly', he stays in its position without sounding too forgiving with the far right, he justs asks for votes for himself. So no, Macron isn't really asking to vote against the RN, but rather to vote for his party, saying he's the best defense against the far right. Like he did since 2017.

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.

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. And last night was a frigthening realization that from now to 2027 and beyond, shit's about to go crazy in my country, no matter where my ballot lands.

It is true that immigrant labour drives down wages, but that would not be a problem in the first place were it not for capitalism, and it cannot be solved on the basis of capitalism because it will find any way to bring down the cost of labour.

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).

@pomperidus 20 сағат бұрын

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.

@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.

Another French fan here, yeah you got it right! Very good explanation for non French speakers. I'd have appreciated if you'd shown the non metropolitan constituencies (there's quite a few). Another detail is that our députés aren't meant to "represent their constistuency" (they're not representative of a territory, they're national assembly). Another detail is that part of LR decided to run with RN, meaning that the cordon sanitaire is sorta-kinda broken on their end, and more than a few right wing candidates that came in third place but are still qualified for round 2 said something like "nah i'm not dropping off because [left] candidate is also an extremist". Gabriel Attal did say "y'all should drop out and vote for NFP if RN came in first and you came in third" to his own side (Macron's side), but others said "only if the other party goes from communist party to te greens to other republicans" (aka saying the left coalition is fine except for "La France Insoumise" candidates, which is... well, kinda eh). Can't wait to see your video next week!

So the right wing party is far right but the coalition of the communists and other left parties are not far left. Please remain objective and don't ruin this good channel.

Only LFI is far left in that coalition. And RN is objectively far right no matter the situation on the left

@PabloTBrave Күн бұрын

The far left doesn't exist and even if it did, there is no danger at all from far left policies ( written in extreme sarcasm)

@benoitchamplon7149 Күн бұрын

That's the official stance, RN is labelled as far right by french institutions, unlike leftist parties like communists and LFI, classified as left wing. Doesn't matter much for the electors though, you could argue the three blocks are all extreme in their own way, or that none of them are, what matters in the end is the vote people will cast on election day.

The left coalition is mostly made of reformists. The far left is the label for revolutionaries

@bleizh_le_rat Күн бұрын

most of the communist party didnt join and they have very few candidate, only LFI is close to far left and that debatable
