  • No complacency - and the far right are a massive threat - but after 'centrists' nearly handed France on a platter to the fascists, the left saved the day.

      Israel has approved the largest seizure of land in the occupied West Bank in more than three decades, according to a report released by an Israeli anti-settlement watchdog, a move that will exacerbate the escalating tensions surrounding the conflict in Gaza.

      Settlement monitors say the recent land acquisition links Israeli settlements along a crucial corridor adjacent to Jordan, a development they say threatens the formation of a future Palestinian state.

      C'est exactement ce que les verts et le PS essaient de faire depuis day1. C'est pas pour rien que la Nupes à "implosée" juste après qu'ils ont obtenus leurs sièges. (Et soudainement ils n'avaient ps de mots assez durs pour condamner la FI et pire cet individu sordide et infrequentable de Mélenchon. Comment à-t-il réssucité la Gauche ? Il y a cru.)
      C'est pas pour rien que tous à la TV sont complètement enamourés de Glucksmman (j'veux dire glucksmman quoi!) Il est le macron bis de cet éternel état de déliquescence du libéralisme, mais ! There is no alternative...
      Alors si la French left c'est la FI, oui, c'est sûr. La FI s'est donner un objectif : mener une politique de gauche, de rupture et pas de petits arrangements.
      Les autres, je ne leur tournerais pas le dos. Ils attendent encore de voir quelle épingle ils tireront de ce jeu. un poste au gouv ? Après ça, ils restent des libéraux. Même les verts. Je pense qu'ils ont lâché la question écolo depuis un bail. Et de toute façon le programme de la FI de plus de 600 page reste plus complet que le leur.
      On voit bien là, ceux qui sont sérieux et ceux qui sont hélas plus occupés à manier des concepts.

    I've lived in France most of my life. Nobody won this election, the leftist alliance called the Nouveau Front Populaire is a very eclectic alliance. Let me put it this way: a vast majority of the French population ( 2/3) - left, traditional right and center, decided that it was better that the country be " ungovernable " rather than governed by the far right. Parliamentary chaos was chosen over far right order. It's the only choice we had and it became self evident. Macron wanted to reinforce his power, he weakened it. This is a country where the nation decided to overthrow their king : people are fed up with " la Macronie" - but there is no viable alternative yet.

    What Centrists seem to be unwilling to recognise is often when the left wing moves centrist the right wing doesn't copy it moves more right wing. See Brexit see Reform, see the Tories. Labour moved centre and they responded by jumping further to the extremes. Meanwhile voters start to think there is no difference between the parties and they just want a change and the far right emerges saying 'look at us!'

      I would not write this election as a victory for the left. Because all parties had to join forces to prevent a united right. Because apart from the goal of preventing the right from coming to power, the left alliance has no unity. In addition, I would not pursue left extremist politics now, as this would only drive people from the centre to the right. That is what happened in Germany and the AfD became stronger every year.
      France has three years until the elections and if the left is not careful, the right could become too strong.

      Labour's descent into the Center began when they purged Corbyn from the party after all the media smearing of antisemitism with Starmer finishing the job of pushing Labour to the Right via purging all the remaining Leftists and adopting diluted Tory policies. Not only did Starmer's party get less votes than Corbyn did in 2019 (Starmer got 10 million this GE) but Reform getting 4 million votes show that Far-Right is on the rise in the UK.
      Liberals dont understand that you dont defeat the Far-Right by moving further to the Right yourself to make party more "electable". By doing that, you are merely enabling and legitimating the Far-Right so there is no reason for the people to vote for you.

      She didn't lose, she gained 60% more seats and got the most votes of any party by far. Her party is now the largest party, the left only "won" because they colluded and strategically pulled their candidates from the second round so their coalition would get more seats, despite the fact that the 3 parties in the coalition are polar opposites in many issues and there is no way they can actually form a government. And even if they did, have fun paying 100% inheritance taxes, green taxes, and letting basically anyone from Sub-Saharan Africa migrate as they please.

    And that only because the left and the center coordinated to maximize their chances in the second round of elections.
    Unfortunately, we can expect that the French left will continue to waste time and effort on ideological trench warfare instead of on pragmatic policies.

Also looking at analysis of the 1st round (see Wikipedia) the upper class were most likely to vote Left, the upper middle class most likely to vote for Ensemble, and the working class most likely to vote far right - people identified as disadvantaged, the lowest category, voted 54% far right in the 1st round. So much for workers on the rise eh?

    Thank you Owen!
    Yesterday was a great day for democracy for sure!
    The French people gave us all a priceless gift of love and hope for humanity - for inclusive human values over racism and violence!
    Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!
    These are very turbulent times I agree. I believe the trajectory is towards consciousness and humanity is changing quickly (the fast and vast movement of information because of the internet is a big part of it) - so the forces of regression - old patriarchal values and hierarchical systems. - are fighting back, but ultimately the movement of consciousness will prevail!
    The Aquarian Age is here.
    Equality for all!

    One thing that has to be very clear: we have won as a coalition, but the RN is now the strongest single-party organization inside the french parliament, which is very dangerous.
    If the leftist alliance doesn’t hold, we’re screwed.
    If the macronists and the RN keep voting a lot of laws together as they already did by the past, we’re screwed.

    According to official French Interior Ministry figures, the RN led in absolute numbers of votes with 8.7 million, followed by 7 million for the NFP, and 6.3 million for Ensemble. There were 1.6 million blank or spoiled ballots, and 1.5 million votes for the right-wing The Republicans (LR) party. The NFP vote fell and Ensemble rose because the NFP largely favored Ensemble in tactical voting deals to block RN candidates: the NFP withdrew its candidates to back Ensemble candidates in 125 constituencies, while Ensemble supported NFP candidates in only 80.

      70% didn't vote for the Left in the 1st round and 75% didn't vote for the Left in the 2nd round. But they came 1st in seats due to the 'understanding' with Macron's group. Also looking at analysis of the 1st round (see Wikipedia) the upper class were most likely to vote Left, the upper middle class most likely to vote for Ensemble, and the working class most likely to vote far right - people identified as disadvantaged, the lowest category, voted 54% far right in the 1st round. So much for workers on the rise eh?

    They weren't humiliated, tactical voting and agreement between the centre right and left party candidates kept the far right from gaining a majority. Overall the left are minority.

    They already humiliated themselves further than anyone or any events ever could; by supporting the ideology of fear and hate, they had proven themselves to be small, scared people.

    Doesn't matter who's going to be president or PM, a continent run by lobbycrats, plutocrats and kakistocrats has no future.

    Left and Right have no differences, they'll be doing the exact same thing only calling it leftism.

      That's not true... The right is based off of xenophobia and racial/ethnic issues. The left is broadly more internationalist. Anyone voting RN has let division win over unity.

    Far right, 1 party, 40% of popular vote
    Left alliance, 6 parties, 28% of popular vote.
    This can be described as many things, not humiliation.

      The left wing removed all their third place candidates for the second turn if the RN could win, so they were running in at least 100 less races than the RN. Your popular vote numbers are lies. They removed 125 candidates to block the far right.
