Impeach Macron now we don't need him here.
"far right" lol
I mean, by French standards they kinda are.
@@L333gok What specific policies does a party have to advocate to be far right?
@@georgesdelatour They’re openly against allowing trans kids to get HRT or trans related surgeries; they advocate limited welfare; they’re against illegal immigration; etc
@@georgesdelatour See the U.S. Libertarian Party. Europeans' concept of what defines far right really is funny.
@@patrickproctor3462 I think they think Far Right means anti-immigration. Which is weird, because the old French Communist Party of Georges Marchais opposed mass immigration, on the grounds that it lowered wages and destroyed working class solidarity.
Calling them far right just makes you sound silly.
How about the term far left, that they also used a few times?
@@hmq9052That quickly cobbled together left wing alliance contains self confessed communists - so the term "Far Left" cannot really be disputed.
They are fascists. If France want a fascist that is their business. but dont try and make out they are not far right -- they are literal fascists.
If YOU are a fascist - at least have the dignity to be honest about it and dont PRETENT to not be far right. Im a communist and I am proud of it
Why that is what they are. We as yet are not in Russia and can call a thing by its name
@@marisabenson1222 Can you explain what far right means?
*ITS STRANGE ISNT IT* all the MOST neoliberal capitalist countries are in crisis...???
I wonder what is to blame?
You mean like Russia and China have great economies at the moment.
😂 who? Crisis? 😂😂😂
Oh you have the answer. Let's see is Russia communist? No. Is it democratic no. What is it?? It really doesn't know. Russia is a complete mess. And so many people are non existing in Vovchansk

The Sunak-Macron Gambit: calling an unnecessary snap-election, without really thinking it all through.
listen to advisors instead of your own voters
I reckon he has thought it through. He knows the right are going to win the next election no matter what he does, so he wants to give them the country when it’s in crisis. He’s knows their victory is inevitable so he’s trying to sabotage so he can win the next election after
@anonymousone6075 Indeed. The Deputy PM was one of those advisors. What Sunak should have done is held on to the end of the year, using his still-workable majority to DO things (rather than promising to do them in a manifesto).
@@well-blazeredman6187
But that would require actually doing things to benefit voters.
Normal people having a common sense opinion.....Vive La France
I know far-right people desperately want to be respected and considered as "normal", but your ideas are not respectable or "normal". Starting by considering yourself as "normal" shows that you have your own standard or "normality". The problem is, we all know that the far-right wants their "normality" to be applied to the entire society.
We could dig in a little and see what exactly should be considered as "normal", and respected in far-right ideas:
- pro Kremlin positions
- anti abortion positions
- anti LGBTQ+ positions
- anti migration positions
- extreme religious positions
- absolutely no program for climate urgency (which is odd because this will be the cause of MASSIVE and uncontrollable migration waves)
... and so on.
We all know that the politicians representing these parties do their best to "clean" their image by avoiding controversial topics in public. Right now, the LGBTQ+ community is worried. Muslims and non-white foreigners are worried. Women are worried that they might lose their reproductive freedom, the scientific community is worried because it is composed of many foreigners... and so on.
But you could reassure us by clearly saying that you will never revoke the right to abortion, or gay marriage and adoption, or kick out foreigners for no good reason, or that you will take climate change seriously, or that you have no intention of leaving the EU... stuff like that. Just say so, and then we will look at your migration policies and evaluate them without fearing all the rest.
They got 34% of the vote. 34% is a minority. A minority would not be "normal".
far right?
They believe in national borders and that men can't get pregnant - that practically makes them Nazis.
Does anyone remember Angela Merkel saying "we can do it"?
What she really meant was "you will do it"

The Far right and the Very Far right!!!😂
Yep! The Woke and the far left Marxislamists!! 😳 Are not the same. 🤔😂😂
The right so far has made a very tentative first step on a very long journey, but there is still an enormous amount of work ahead and many challenges and obstacles ahead.
Do Macron & Rishi know something we don’t? Both running away?
No why?
How are they running? They just called elections for the voters to decide - I call that quiete democratic, as opposed to some other rightwing politicians who refuse to leave when they loose...
Snap elections to stop the haemorrhaging?
Rats and sinking ship?
Had the same thought myself .When the Davos brothers are calling elections that are not in their best interests, its worrying.
Macron hasn't lost yet, but he is behind at half-time.
If you want a corrupt politician like Macron then you must be on the payroll, why do you think the French have been protesting for months now! Vote for change, vote for far right VOTE Marie le Penn
He will lose
He certainly will lose
Nah, he's lost. Macron's centrists are simply not in it for the second round in enough seats. They will lose the parliament. That is not the be all and end all in French politics but it is not good.
‘What is causing the rise in support?’ If it’s anything like England just pop outside for a 5 minute walk.

"Far Right."

If racism, homophobia and misogyny is common sense to you, then yes...
Common sense? They'll bankrupt France within months if they're allowed to rule
So nice, mama named you twice!
@@OGSoundFX complete nonsense. Is called having morals
@@banker1313they called themselves far right. You need to read about the rn
We’ve all had the far wrong for too long!!!
It seems French people truly want that lady to be their leader. Macron did not actually lose the gamble. His people want the lady.
33% which, if my maths is correct is not a majority. You should say the truthful 'a third of his people want the lady' rather than the disingenuous "His people want the lady."
More don't it seems
Two thirds don't want them.
No Ukraine war money laundering machine..no immigration.. no censorship.. only freedom
IF they are the majority then by default they are centrist!
Je suis français et on va gagner vive le RN 🇨🇵 force a tous les patriotes d Europe 💪
the term 'far right' is used loosely these days.
Were you ok with them using the term far left?
What would you call them then? They are hardly a centre-right party are they.
Yes the correct term is fascist
No, it isn't. It is what it is.

Nope.

"FaR RiGHt" 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Intriguing conversation about the underlying issues driving nationalism / conservatism to topple the elite know-it-alls. Immigration and inflation are central issues throughout the western world. It will be interesting to see how each country decides which party can best handle these wedge issues.
You do realise they’re not far right don’t you?
It's like all the msm have been given orders to label everything far right and slip it into every sentence, push scare factor 😂 Well done France 🎉
Will the 150k withdrawal agreement UK nationals still get the same treatment as French nationals with settled status in the UK?
I'm not even going to bother watching this. You don't understand French political elections. It only matters in the head to head and that will be Macron v le Pen, he will win. We have this same dance every time do you not remember every other French election you have covered?
Not far right just right so far

@@daydays12 Look it up
@@nicks4934name 5 occasions where its gone wrong
@@craigdobson9068 I can, Spain with Franco. Italy with Mussolini, Germany with that Austrian bloke, Hungary with Orban, Brexit.
Now, name five times it has gone well.
I doubt France needs more immigration for lads working in kebab and vape shops, if they work at all. Bus drivers, doctors, nurses, engineers, trades people, that can be MANAGED through strict standards and vetting. Just have common sense
Just seems weird for drivers to be included in that list but they seem to be a bit rare nowadays....lingering effects of Covid leading most of the older ones into retirement and/or easier employment I guess.
@@jaybeebee9288 In Ireland a lot of the most recent drivers for Bus Eireann at least look and talk like they are from developing countries. Nothing wrong with that kind of immigration. They are doing a highly skilled job in transport but it isn't a job many Irish people would go for. Honestly to money isn't too bad but cost of living has locals running into pharmaceutical jobs and emigrating. The conditions along with dealing with the public also are factors in locals not going for these positions.
I'd imagine this is an issue with many people but it's just an opinion of mine from my experience. It's not meant to cause offense as I work in a field that has many people all over the world and honestly never had a bad word to say about them. People that come to Ireland by and large are great for the community, if anything it;s the locals that let the community down
@@croninalan We're kinda between a rock and a hard place in that regard, where I live just outside London we still have a largely white population but the bus drivers are conspicuously majority non-white, taxi drivers are literally 99% Pakistani (or nearly because we don't quite have 100 drivers total but probs not much fewer), so much for being reflective of the community ahem, and in both cases there are quite a few I'm sure could not have passed the bus company's English language tests let alone those set by PSV licensing without shall we say, cash unfolding in dim lighting...
In any case where we've been going wrong the last half century and more is we've not been selective nor practiced flexible immigration, so you let in all the Tier 1 skilled people PLUS x % from the Tier 2 community that don't have criminal records, anyone Tier 2 does 35 in a 30 more than once, back home. When there's a downturn, Tier 2 goes home in ascending order of time served here (the longer you've kept your nose clean the likelier you are to stay). This is what happens in Switzerland which is NOT an EU member, but nonetheless they had no problem with me staying more than 90 days as a guest worker back when I contracted there.
We don't enjoy any of that here and I imagine the same is true in Ireland. I should add btw I myself am the child of immigrants to the UK :)
Far right? Lol. Just right.
clown
why are you censoring comments that are in line with the French electorate?
They are not far right. They are economic socialists who also want to stop inward migration and protect French traditions.
Just thinking ahead if the far right establish a government... this ultimately would be a good thing for the UK because they would put a legitimate block on illegal immigrants crossing through the country ( i hope and pray)
He should have learned the Brexit lesson
Yes. Good point!
You mean the one where just over half the electorate have the potential to believe a bunch of lies and then forgive the charlatans like Nigel Faeces for lying to them and leaving the country worse off in GDP per capita. You can't eat sovereignty, nor can you put it on a log burner
le pen is mightier than the sword with her cavalier attitude!!!
Its more about immigration for a lot of voters....same as the UK

Its beginning to look like this use of the term "far right" is part of an effort to complete deligeitimize anyone or any idea that isn't Leftist. Has anyone seen any mainstream media company just use the term "right wing?"
Far right!???? Bit extreme.
I dont know much about this at the moment. Are they actually 'far right' or just centre right? There seems to be a lot of people in the media throwing the far right label about loosely of late..
If you're american :
They're not even your Republicans
In France you're far right as soon as you're against immigration, it's just a journalist label
They don't have any historical or political knowledge
it's "oh, he's against mass migration, so he must be racist, so he must be far right"
that's 100% of their thought process
First time since Vichy... Le Pen changed the paint job, but not the engine, it still duns on hatred.
Do people like you feel smart when posting this type of pseudo historical journalistic talking point like soulless golems?
I think there has to be a serious discussion that the current situation in Europe could now lead to the collapse of the EU
And NATO
Save France. Vote only on the Right. ❤
If your father was in the Waffen SS, and you vowed to carry on his work, you aren't 'centre right'.
The occupation did save France from going full Bulshivic.
its only the first round says deakin housing newcastle under lyme council
“Far Right” = 90s conservative
I love it how all these commentators struggle to explain Macron calling the election. They entertain every silly idea other than that the establishment plan is for the "far right" to now become the government.
Who are these Far Right
Le pen is mightier than the sore left!
I do wish people would stop calling Le Pen’s party far right.
Maybe that will stop if her party stops being far right?
Macron was bloodthirsty
The phrase 'far right' is really being overused these days.
Deliberate ploy to keep sane people from going near these parties.

This headline is all hype and doesn't recognise how the French political system works. It's the final round that counts and the far right will struggle in that.
AND if they do win - well thats what the French people want. More than 50% will have voted for them, thats democracy. Lets as WHY people h4t3d the centrists so much they voted for the fascists???

When it comes down to two, I don't believe that the average, centrist, French voter will give them enough votes to win. This is the gamble that Macron has taken and I think that it will pay off for him. We will see.

Young people turning to the right. I hope they like wearing military uniforms and warfighting 🙁
Are they though? I doubt it. They must seen the horrible consequences of far right parties.
As opposed to the last 20 years which have been entirely peaceful. . . . . . .
It's Macron who has suggested France should send troops to fight in Ukraine.
Stay off social media mate, you don't even realise what's happening in front of you
Now they'll be able to fight back, that's the difference. Better than being slaughtered by Muslims. And the risk of war with Russia is lower now; the right isn't going to try and get involved in Ukraine like Macron.
People have enough with warmongering macron hahahaha 😆 😂
So says the troll account created 3 weeks ago. Go away Ivan.
What war is France fighting?
Le Pen has close links to Putin who IS a warmonger. Some info :
According to most estimates, every day of the war in Ukraine costs Russia $500 million to $1 billion.
That is up to $ 730 billion since the beginning of the special military operation.
Since the beginning of the special military operation at least 300, 000 Russian soldiers have been killed.
That is not a very good ROI ( return on investment).
The Russian people have paid about $ 600 billion and had more than 300,000 of their brothers, husbands
and fathers killed in return.
Another two years of the so very special military operation' will double these figures:
an investment of $ 1,200 billion with an ROI of more than 600 000 dead Russian bodies.
How does that compare with President Macron's record.
How many French men and women have died in war in that time, Gaia?
