Can see why from both sides. People not wanting a far right government and the far right angry because in many places, left or centrist candidates have withdrawn, to allow the anti-RN vote to be concentrated on one contender. This ain't going to end well. |  | | |  |

Dirty tactics from the establishment. I think society needs a kick up the arse from time to time and I hope our french friends get what they want. |  | | |

National Rally in third place according to exit poll.
That is great news from my point of view. |
France's far-right National Rally (RN) party has been beaten into third place in France's parliamentary election, according to exit polls from BFM.
The left-wing coalition New Popular Front is expected to take between 172-205 seats.
In a huge surprise, Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance Ensemble is expected to receive around 150-175 seats.
RN and its allies are expecting to get between 115-150 seats.
Presumably there will be trouble on the streets with the left celebrating and right protesting. |  |

They won’t get a kick up the arse they’ll get a jack boot on their necks. How can you look at a party lead by the daughter of a man with links to Nazis and think that’s what Europe needs again? |  |

Interestingly it suggests France has moved slight to the left, but with the far right prominent, just like Britain.
I assume there will be a change of Prime Minister. [Post edited 7 Jul 2024 19:16]

If enough of them want it they’ll get it, that’s how democracy works. I don’t really see what’s particularly dirty about it, if they don’t get enough votes to get elected then they don’t deserve to. |  | | |

I don't think electing nazis is the sort of "kick up the arse" society needs at any time. |  |

Imagine being so patriotic you turn out to support foreign nazis bankrolled by another foreign dictator. [Post edited 7 Jul 2024 19:26]

That’s still far too many fascists. They’ve got a much bigger problem with the far right than us and are probably a good country to learn from. |  |

Nah, that’s not going to happen either. He’s completely in denial over how he’s started coming across. Not that Trump is much better cognitively. What a thoroughly depressing place the US is in. And from looking in from the outside, embarrassing too. | |

It was the anti-establishment left-wing bloc that led on standing down its candidates to help defeat the far right - they are more serious about doing so than the establishment centrists who prevaricated about doing so. The establishment sees the left as far more of a threat to its interests than the far-right. |  | | |

Is that so? Sounds like a whole melting pot of opinions. I guess that is what a democracy is. | | | |

Fair play to Macron. As a centrist he's managed to embolden the hard right and now the hard left. | |
