Centrist plus Far Left minus Marine La Penn= Outcome of French 2024 Election
Elections are won by People mainly because people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.
Usually politicians kick the can down the road but in this case, Instead of the politicians, the French people have kicked the can down the road this time.
Things always seem to get worse in France before it starts to get better.
In 7 years Macron has been built up and then slowly facing a complete wipe out.
Going forward there will be 2 political parties in France, National Rally and Jean luc Melenchon' Far Left.
Till then, France should keep on doing what it's doing, which is
1) Drink Wine
2) Smoke a cigarette
3) Talk about Philosophie.
I have tried to lift France out the mud, But she will return to her errors and vomitings, one cannot prevent the French for being French.:- Charles De Gaulle

Things to know about Kier starmer
1) London or Davos?
Kier starmer: Davos
2) Kier starmer is a Tony Blair candidate.
3) This is as much as a loss for the British conservatives than a win for Labour, The main story should be that thier is an 8 percent drop in voter turnout in UK.
4) Rishi Sunak was stupid enough to take that job in the very first place, and tried to handle the mess created by David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Theresa May. He took the poison pill and now is facing political death. But, he'll end up in a think tank in New York or Washington or on the board of WEF in Davos. That's just a reality. Sunak and Kier starmer are not very different in that regard.
Everyone wanted Brexit but no one knows how to get Brexit done.
If you think the Conservatives were bad wait till you see the Kier starmer' Labour.
They talk of Political science as if there is any thing scientific about it, and they talk about political philosophy as if it is anything but circular logic.
It's just psychology, you have to be able to read the room, and Donald Trump is great at it.
At the heart of America' insecurities, is actually the thought, that the Americans didn't win the world war, or atleast they couldn't do it without Russia' help, actually the Soviets have a much bigger contribution in ending the Nazi regime than the Americans, Maybe that's why Americans feel the need to equate everything to world war 2 and draw some kind of a parallel storyline, where their enemies are Hitler and they are Captain America in the movie, they are trying to convince themselves that they had won the war but in thier minds they know it is the Russians who sacrificed a lot more and thier contribution is much more greater.
And Yes! Americans were on the winning side but thier main contribution was mainly of weapons supply which is what they do best, they are the largest supplier of weapons in the world.(Lend lease agreement)
