It is interesting to see that thwarting what the majority of the French people wanted is "democracy" while accepting what the majority of people wanted in Hungary is "dictatorship." European "values" got devaluated quite fast I must admit.

How is your it thwarting the majority if more people are voted for other parties? As an American, where literally there isn't a 1 to 1 vote, and the Republicans have one the popular vote 1 time in the last maybe 6 or 7 elections I'm confused by this sentiment.

The various left parties all joined together to make one party to avoid fracturing the vote. So the amount of people voting 'left' didn't really change, it just concentrated the vote to one party. Then the centre and left parties strategically stood down candidates in different constituencies to minimise where centrist and left parties ran against each other.

It doesn't feel like it right now for NR I'm sure, but this is good for them in the long run. I think the chance that NR was going to win the 50% of seats needed to win the majority outright was close to 0. But now the government is in indisputably left-wing hands. When the next 3 years are a disappointing slogfest for France, and I believe they will be, NR will be able to point to the failings of the system and rally for change, instead of having to try to hold together a cobbled coalition with emsemble for the next 3 years and getting the finger pointed at them for the stagnation.

@@skillfuldabest French voters are fickle. Had Macron organised a referendum on immigration and applied danish like policies, the RN would be on life support as we speak. This is exactly what happened in Danemark where they are blessed not being saddled with a basket case like Melenchon and his cronies.

Good show. FR and USA in same situation. The aristocracy did not listen to the population. They enriched themselves, now the rest of us have to deal with the mess. I fear for my son and grandchildren. Because they are the ones who will suffer.

Being as a foreigner (non-European), I am so surprised to hear that France has a large conservative supporters! I always think French are very left leaning and it’s their culture and even life style 😅 I thought they just don’t like so many uncontrolled immigrants (both legal and illegal) and can no longer bear with them particularly those importers islamic terrorists and their toxic mindset and laws and culture.

Not sure what you mean when you use convenient (useless) labels such as Populism. The people that voted are still there, and the change that they wanted is still real. There is nothing to be thwarted. This is democracy. Time will tell how the current political spectrum in France will evolve.

Do you sincerely believe this?? The largest voting bloc has been totally "thwarted". Good luck with that lol
