France will look back at this day as their VERY LAST chance to get it right when it came to voting, just as the UK blew their very last chance, last week.
more in the cart than pulling it now...
It’s not shocking. The “first round” was basically a poll, telling the ruling oligarchy what to do. Then they did it, and victory was theirs.
The leftists won in Britain and France.
The voters must be masochists because they’re in for a world of hurt.
How does one short sell an entire nation?
Great informative post. Thanks.
Really worried about our “election”.
So they learned how to rig the count from our democrats?
Much ado over nothing. The French left lacks the majority needed to make policy. It will stumble along until the next election, probably within months. Not great for Macron, who likely hoped to make gains, but not unsalvageable. Detente with RN might be necessary.
My impression that while not great for Macron (and not Armageddon), this is more or less a Mexican standoff, rather than a complete Communist victory.
Been saying for awhile as others have here: let western Europe plunge into total civil war. It may be our only hope to wake up idiots here.
Wonder where they got their voting machines...or, if they hired Biden liberals to count votes.
I hope this is not a foreshadowing of November. When you open your door to the wolves and allow them to vote, they always vote to eat YOU for dinner.
My hope is that the democrats will not be able to find as many loyal foot soldiers to do their dirty work for them this fall.
Nobody saw that coming, nope, no one.
Democrats exported their election rigging system to to France?
Leftists winning “second rounds?” No shock in that.
Look at the map at the link.
The socialists cheat in France as they do in the USA.

Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party won EVERY single French department except for Paris in the EU Elections.
Every single department.
That’s like Trump winning every single state except DC.
And I’m supposed to believe they came 3rd in the Parliamentary Elections? No way.

UK & France go hard left, US to follow?
Had RN actually won the government would have been Cohabitation, which would have meant paralysis and Macron would have done everything he could to sabotage their agenda so that he could then blame the chaos on RN as being incapable of governing. He probably would have then held another snap election in a year or two to bank on voters throwing them out.
Instead the Popular Front is going to manage an incredibly unstable majority and I imagine their popularity will immediately plummet now that the election is over. The real thing to focus on is that RN is now the real right wing party of France, and they're probably not going away any time soon.
