The Parliamentary faction of President Emmanuel Macron has been utterly destroyed in the unexpected snap election he called just three weeks ago, with Le Pen’s Party looking to nearly treble its seat holding.
Polling has closed in France for the first round of this week-long Parliamentary election. While actual seat distribution won’t be fully known, the exit polls following this knock-out round have given a confident answer that Marine Le Pen’s nationalist-populist National Rally (RN) won the day. Per the exit polls, her faction gained 34 per cent of the vote, while the left-wing coalition founded for the purpose of this election picked up 29 per cent, and President Macron’s Ensemble looks at just 20 per cent.

The entire French revolution was a phenomenon of the Left. It’s where we get the terminology of Left/Right. The Jacobins were leftists. I’m sorry for you to find out this way, but to be anti-monarchist is to be on the Left, by definition.

What? They think they won a sports championship?

Sounds “Insurrectiony”
Again, let’s hope so.
Lol. Yes…Not guilty
#7 is Marine Le Pen in 1990. See the link in #29.

I’m scratching my head a little on that one. Our Founders (Washington, Jefferson, etc.) were certainly anti-monarchist. They booted King George III, and they did not replace him with our own monarchy.
Yet our Founders were not leftists.
Good
They were, however, liberals. I hate that the leftists stole the term liberal from those of us who value Liberty.
“What? They think they won a sports championship?”
I did see a lot of fireworks going off, maybe so. They seem like liberals, they don’t quite get this whole voting and elections thing.
The United States had its beginnings as a reformation project, whose intellectual and religious ancestors murdered their king. Especially in New England, with the Puritans. Washington was just a Freemason, and if you know anything about history, you will know how deeply involved freemasonry was in the French revolution. Liberalism is in America’s DNA. Most FReepers who consider themselves conservative have a political philosophy that corresponds well with classical liberalism.
For my part, a return to monarchy is hardly the order of the day, but singing La Marseilles, that's something else--a sort of Sieg Heil!
In the name of revolution, they leveled and wasted the churches of France.
Oh, but do how I agree with you! To be called a “liberal” was once a great honor. A classical liberal was open to new ideas, and would vigorously defend the right of people to express opposing views.
Today’s fascist left has ruined the word “liberal”. Just as they have ruined the word “progressive”.

Yes. And they executed many, many innocents during the Terror.
The American Revolution is an example of a revolution done right. The French and Russian Revolutions are examples of revolutions that spun out of control.
We are quite fortunate that our revolutionary leader was George Washington, and not some bloody variation of Robespierre or Lenin.
Is the West finally coming out of the coma?

Once you slide past the age of 70, the youthful pictures are much easier to look at.
