      The problem is that everyone is afraid that the wrong people will win, irregardless who win.

      TBH, this was very predictable after the last elections. If you need to put everyone else together to not let $SOMEONE to govern, this is the only outcome. France just needed to look to what happen in Italy every 2 elections.

        Isn’t this making it worse really? How about France starts accepting democracy for better or worse, and let it’s People choose for once.

          Probably

          How about France starts accepting democracy for better or worse, and let it’s People choose for once.

          I agree with you. Problem is that if they had followed the results of the last elections, now Le Pen would be part of the govern, and that was not acceptable by the Left.
          So what they did after the first round was to put together all the parties that had as unique common point “Marie Le Pen / the Right wing should not win”, like the Left in Italy do too much often.
          And like in Italy yes, they won and let the people choose, but like in Italy they started fighting amongst themselves the minute after the victory.

          So now France have a big problem: the parties that win the election are not able to create a durable and credible govern because they have nothing in common if not the fear that for the Front National and they are afraid to go to new election exactly because they are afraid, rightly, that this time the Front Nationale (or any other Right wing party) will win. And to them they are the wrong people.

            They are literally the wrong people lmao their leader tortured people during Algeria war. Him and his daughter embezzled European money to pay for their valet.

            Also that’s bullshit. The NFP was first in the last elections.

        You have 3 large factions that refuse to even talk to each other, what you gonna do. The results of a new election will be pretty much the same again if you take a look at the polls.

          The NFP handed a program to the central block, which they refused, they also made concessions which were also rejected. That same central block then proceeded to get in talks with the far right, conceding more and more with each iteration. The far right then voted to censor the government and do it all over again. Macron himself got involved in some districts to ruin the chances of NFP candidates to win the election.

          His plan is pretty clear, put the RN in power hoping they make fools of themselves and push his cronies as saviours.

      Roughly three weeks since his nomination, and only 13h46 minutes with a new government. The lettuce wins once again.
