  1. ​ @handysmith-kv1tc Didn't take place yet.

  2. They did foresee it. It's not a big deal. Her party has moderated a lot, but its roots are pro-collaborationist. That's still a sensitive issue in France.

  3. No one got an absolute majority in Round 1. Le Pen's party's candidates got about 34%, which was the single largest plurality. In some regions, two candidates got enough votes to advance to Round 2. In some regions, three, or even four, were entitled to advance. In most of those elections, the third and fourth candidates chose to withdraw rather than dilute the anti-Le Pen vote, which represents over 2/3 of the votes cast in Round 1. I used to live there. Wish I still did.

  4. Is 34% a majority? That's what Le Pen got in Round 1. That leaves 66%. She needs to persuade some of those, or else no dice. Edit: she needs almost 1/4 of those who voted for a different party in Round 1. And to keep the 34%, at least a few of whom were a protest vote (but will probably stay with her nevertheless).

  5. No, they just think people like Jordan Peterson are sages. The sheer ignorance is unfathomable. The last time they opened a book was 11th grade Cliff Notes. Somehow they are still entitled to run the world.

  6. What do you mean? Le Pen got less than 35%. Hence, over 65% did NOT vote for Le Pen's party in Round 1. Had she won 50% +1, there would not BE a second round. How is it democratic to have someone with barely 1/3 of the votes cast govern? If no party can form a government, that reflects what the voters think of the whole lot of them.

  7. The popular vote was about 34% for Le Pen in round 1. Had her candidates won 50% + 1, there would be no Round 2. How is someone who got 34% "the popular vote?" 66% disagree.

  8. No majority means paralysis, which is what globalists want. Then they can manufacture a new panic.

  9. @handysmith-kv1tc  Two-round elections make that hard to predict. No majority in the Assembly is a win for Macron.

  10. @handysmith-kv1tc  Have you followed her in French? She's a cow. She supports raising the retirement age.

  11.  @handysmith-kv1tc  I hope someday Americans will be allowed to express themselves on these platforms without scents or sheep.

  12. The New Popular Front is as anti-Macron as Marine Le Pen is, if not more.

  13. WEF? A lot of Popular Front people are pro-BRICS, pro-Venezuela, pro-Palestine. This isn't America we're talking about, where fascists like the Clintons, Bill Gates, and their buddy Jeffrey Epstein are/were "the left." 😂

  14. So . . . The neoliberal globalist wants to make the National Assembly incapable of ruling, and you think that's a Lose? That's what the globalists want.

  15. Laughable. No majority in the National Assembly = impotence = what the globalists WANT.

  16. She got less than 35%. Hence, over 65% did NOT vote for Le Pen's party in Round 1. Had her party won 50% +1, there would not BE a second round. How is it democratic to have someone with barely 1/3 of the votes cast form a government? If no party can get enough votes to elect their representatives and form a government, that reflects what the voters think of the whole lot of them. Which is probably what they all deserve.

  17. The latter.

  18. She got less than 35%. Hence, over 65% did NOT vote for Le Pen's party in Round 1. Had she won 50% +1, there would not BE a second round. How is it democratic to have someone with barely 1/3 of the votes cast govern? If no party can form a government, that reflects what the voters think of the whole lot of them. Sounds about right, frankly.

  19. ​ @alexmorgan3435  Clearly OP isn't French. 😂

  20. ​ @DudeSilad Nope. Shows the poster isn't French.

  21. Sure they do. France still has a Communist party.

  22. No comparison.

  23. 66% didn't vote for her. She needs to get about 1/4 of those to come to her side to win. Are the English-speaking peoples math challenged, too? Watch Prime Newtons. Great math prof.

  24. 100 -- 34 = 66, even in English.

  25. @michaelsmythe4031  I can see that. If it were a concession to the fact that the neoliberal globalists are center-right, it might make sense. Populist right is a better description of Le Pen and the party today. Her father did denounce her for moderating.

  26. Meloni's pro-war stance shows she's a globalist, too.

  27. They're not in power, and haven't been since Mitterrand's first term, over 40 years ago. Macron is a centrist globalist banker.

  28. ​ @Mat-ss8uw France isn't like that.

  29. It suffers in translation. Most Americans thought she already had won. Smh

  30. Macron is a centrist globalist with some right-wing tendencies. His party came in a distant third. The two opposition groups both beat him.

  31. Macron is centrist globalist with right wing leanings on many things. The left was in the opposition in parliament all this time, and occasionally voted with Le Pen. For example, they joined forces to make it illegal to ask a minor their COVID vaccination status years ago. The PCF opposed mandates, which hit the working class the most. Fabien Gay even opposed mandates for nurses. Starting to get it? Or no? They still have a left.

  32. No cheating involved. The left in France is part of the opposition to Macron. Macron's was a new centrist globalist party. French politics has nothing in common with the Anglosphere. Different legal system, too.

  33. Laughable. No majority = impotence = what the globalists WANT.

  34. 100 -- 34 = 66. It's kinda that way.

  35. Guess again. No majority = impotence = exactly what the globalists WANT, paralysis of their opponents.
