    how many surprised faces will there be when the right fails to actually do anything substantial for the common voter and just fills up their pockets with gov funds (see: hungary)

    Please stop calling Macron’s party centrist. It’s right wing and has always been, regardless of what they pretend.

    I get that the French weren’t a fan of the Nazi invasion, but avoiding it happening again by pre-empting it with their own Nazi rule isn’t the best option.

    National Rally are basically the French equivalent of the British National Party, and they are right wing as fuck.

    When they’re leading in the polls, you know that Sarkozy, Hollande and Macron fucked up hard.

    “Those people are dangerous, so we need to make a government that kills people.” The world is willing to burn because a few people who are different exist nearby.

      Yes, but the moment you tighten immigration and say stuff like we can’t help everyone, the radical left immediately brands you a nazi, same as the constant harping about centrists.

      In the end there are problems with migrants and these need to be adressed. Povery Beiing an important one, but culture and language as well.

      At the same time you also need to not forget the smaller towns. Once bus service stops and the last local grocery store closes, it’s dead. So then what. People left there feel forgotten, because they are. The free market deemed them unprofitable and left them behind.

        Exactly. That’s what’s happened in Denmark. The facts speak for themselves.

        This website is so extremist even the you talking about why this is happening is being down voted. This website doesn’t not like anything that exists outside of their bubble.

          You know just because you claim that something is true it doesn’t automatically mean that what you say is actually true and the only thing I see in Denmark is a country where the social democrats talk and make policy like the far right. Putting people in camps and stealing their jewelry because they’re not desirable for society, I hope you don’t mind me making the comparison to the Nazis.

    The real news is that Melenchon has finally managed to make it to the second round. And the question now is whether Macron’s voters are as compromised about stopping fascism as they’ve claimed for years to the point that they’ll vote to *horrified gasp* raise their taxes.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    French far-right leader Marine Le Pen is urging voters to give her National Rally an “absolute majority” in parliament after estimates showed her party won 34% of the vote.

    With France’s next parliament set to be decided in the runoff vote next Sunday, leftist Jean-Luc Melenchon said his New Popular Front (NFP) is ready to tactically drop election races if it helps beat far-right RN.

    Melenchon is one of the most divisive figures in French politics, enthusing and horrifying voters with his unrestrained tax-and-spend proposals, class war rhetoric and controversial foreign policy positions, probably most notably his longstanding call for France to pull out of NATO.

    Earlier in the day, Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Rally (RN), which is favored to take most of the votes in the poll, also cast her ballot in her party’s stronghold in northern France.

    Macron’s party has said it is committed to cutting the budget deficit to the EU ceiling of 3% of GDP by 2027, but the possibility of achieving this has been called into doubt by institutions from the national auditor to the International Monetary Fund.

    Its president, Jordan Bardella, has said that if chosen as prime minister, he would not allow French missiles to be delivered to Ukraine that can strike targets within Russia itself, let alone send troops to the conflict, an idea floated by Macron.

    Can’t wait for World War 4 because some white nazi woman wins an election. It will shut up the feminists who believe women are better than men. Women are just as human and just as shit.

      You are such an astonishingly stupid misogynist that you don’t even realize these elections aren’t about a new president and MLP isn’t going to be elected in July. You simply prefer to badmouth feminists because no sane woman is attracted in you instead of engaging your brain for even a second.
