The second round of France’s election did not prove so successful for Marine Le Pen, whose party fell to third place with the leftist New Popular Front (NFP) emerging as the dominant force. Andrew Neil Chairman of the Spectator speaks to Freddy Gray about who the key characters on the left are, and why, despite losing in this round of elections, this could mean Marine Le Pen goes on to win the Presidential election in 2027.

Is it the right or the left that tends to have an issue with immigration? Clearly, it's the right. It's also the policies of 'the right' that have contributed most to declining birth rates in Europe. Policies in countries like the UK that have focused on older generations, that have pushed the costs down to younger generations. And aging populations are costly. So, what is it that the right wants? Massive increases in government spending to support younger citizens (with regards to housing, education, the 'cost of living', etc.), to make parenting children more affordable, or.... High levels of immigration? Because the reality is that many countries in Europe, if they wish to remain in any way prosperous, need one of the above. People on the right need to either get over what is, in many cases, blatant xenophobia/racism, or accept that policies most would deem 'left wing' are necessary. They won't, though, will they? Because most right wing voters aren't all that well off, but they've bought into the lies and propaganda of actual elites (elites whose wealth and power is far beyond the 'elites' that the right often demonize, i.e. hard working professional types), and so they vote against their own interests. They vote against the interests of their countries.

@@noodleppoodle Under communism, all assets are in the hands of a tiny few and they are untaxed. The government owns everything and pays no taxes. The people own nothing. It seems you are the one who does not understand what communism is. You need LESS communism to fix the problem you are talking about. The actual problem with western economies is that leftists have discovered you can print money to steal money from the people covertly through money printing (inflation). They then redistribute this money to their cronies and donors, which then gets funneled back to them to fuel their campaigns or pay insane salaries for nebulous "think tank" or board jobs which are just titles. A portion of that printed money is doled out to greedy voters who have their votes for sale to whomever gives them the most goodies; the whole time not knowing they are being paid with their own money. So it's a rampant theft/embezzlement/bribery scheme by people who are mostly leftists and commies. That's why you don't own anything and rich people own everything. It has nothing to do with a "failure of capitalism", it has to do with commies getting political power then looting everyone blind and seizing control of all of the assets. . .then they use that stolen asset power to assert their dominance even further for corporate communism/feudalism. A system we're all suffering under now. So yeah, your problem is that we have too much communism. Poisoning ourselves even further is not going to make the poison go away.

I live in France and it’s been astonishing to hear the ridiculous fear-mongering coming from young socialists. They actually believed music concerts would be prohibited. Art too. We’d have pogroms and the like. One of my daughters acquaintances, is the child of a pair of teachers, one for history, the other English, and the things he’s been claiming should LePen win are the most far-fetched, conspiratorial bunkum I’ve ever heard. I can only imagine his parents have helped him come to these conclusions about RN, which also makes me wonder just how much of their own factually incorrect opinions overflow into their classes. Also, when the voting prospectus was posted, the quantity of candidates in left-wing parties, that were teachers or held positions in teaching faculties, was tremendous. Subtle and not so subtle left-wing brainwashing goes on all the time in schools.

Could someone explain to me how blindly following US foreign policy, which Andrew Neil sees as problematic, has benefited the UK recently? The US pushed for NATO expansion to Ukraine from 2008, Merkel and Sarkozy warned against this as they knew how Russia would react, but US interests reigned supreme. Does Andrew think all the immigrants from Middle East fleeing US wars are beneficial? Hardly any end up in US compared to EU/UK for obvious geographical reasons. Germany committed economic suicide when it stopped purchasing cheap Russian gas, the AFD are as against this war as much as they are immigration. EU put tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles the day after the US. These cars go further than Tesla’s, are great build and are cheaper…And the list goes on. Post WWII the idea was EU foreign policy would be aligned with US interests in exchange for US military defence, preventing both extra-European actors and intra-European conflict. Has this really been necessary? I don’t recall needing US troops during the Falklands..instead here we are today as US empire vows to stay hegemonic following blindly a nation who is going to be led by a clearly mentally-incapable octogenarian or Trump who I actually think overall is the better candidate. Perhaps we should reopen the books and see how the world wars started and ask if we Really want to join the US in provoking the Russian bear into Nuclear Armageddon….

Not really, it's the end of Macron's reforms to restructure the French economy by instigating cut backs in public expenditure. The French public finance is essentially controlled by the EU and any row back now will place severe strains on the EU budget which is already feeling the effects from a faltering German economy. By facilitating greater influence by the extreme Left within government, the effect will not only harm the French economy which is looking very weak, it will have serious repercussions throughout the European Union. If you think things are bad now, they are about to get a whole lot worse.

The current trajectory is going to further widen the wealth gap, kill all sense of culture and national pride in these nations, and further create festering tension between increasingly disparate communities. All the while, more people shift further right in desparation...my question is why did it have to come to this? Why could we never have reasonable discussions about this over the last decade?
