Looks Like France Have Elected far-left La France Insoumise Party - National Rally 3rd

They didn't cheat, at first glance at least, far-left factions came together, leap-frogging Macron's coalition, and the far right.

French elections: Left projected to win most seats, ahead of Macron's coalition and far right
According to initial estimates, the Nouveau Front Populaire left-wing alliance is projected to win between 177 and 192 seats in France's Assemblée Nationale, ahead of Macron's coalition (between 152 and 158) and the far-right Rassemblement National (between 138 and 145).


What happens if no sustainable government emerges?
In the absence of a clear majority, there is a real risk of institutional deadlock. The Constitution does not impose any timetable for forming a government, but no legislative or regulatory text can be adopted in the absence of one.

In recent days, politicians have put forward several ideas to remedy such a continuation of the crisis:

the formation of a "government of national unity" supported by a coalition that unites across political camps;
the appointment of a "technical" government to manage the country, with ministers with no party affiliation, along the lines of the one led by Mario Draghi in Italy from 2021 to 2022;
a minority government in the Assemblée, but one that would seek compromises to pass legislation on a case-by-case basis.
One thing is certain: in the absence of a clear, stable majority, a government of this type would live under the threat of a vote of no confidence in the Assemblée Nationale, which could lead to a rapid succession of governments.

9.3 million voted RN ("far-right") today.
5.1 million voted NFP (socialist) today.

But the socialists won more seats because "democracy"

I'm really surprised. I was sure Le Pen would win. I guess it's partly due to the specific election system in France. Perhaps, the vision of the triumph of nationalists scared all the usually apathetic people who would otherwise stay at home and they rushed to vote not so much for the left as against the right. The alliance of the left and the liberals during the elections also helped.

There was a time when I liked Le Pen. She looks like a reasonable politician. Her anti-immigration attitude and healthy distance to the EU crazy ideas are admirable. It's only her sympathy for Putin that doesn't make me sad she's finally lost.

Voting to continue letting your women and children be raped and murdered by people who should not be in your country in the first place is not rational.

Voting in a dictatorial and tyrannical government to shield against imaginary threats is also not rational (especially with what has happened previously):

Study finds no correlation between immigration and criminality in France

Electronic voting is used only for French citizens living abroad and for two specific elections: legislative and consular elections.

While the outcome is unexpected given recent history, at least they managed to get this part of voting right.

the voter then enters a curtained booth (isoloir), where they are hidden from sight, and inserts the ballot paper of their candidate into the envelope. They walk to the ballot box, where the president of the voting office or their deputy formally checks their identity.[8][9] Only in municipalities under 1,000 inhabitants is an official identity document optional, if the deputy can attest of the identity.

Also looks like they actually check identification, which is another nice policy to have in place. I'm not saying that a steal isn't possible in such an environment, but if nothing else, they at least try and look like they're having legitimate elections.

If you believe that about any country, I've got a bridge to sell you.

None of us must ever forget that "FREE-stuff" will never prevail over "FREE-dom"!

It is only when there is no FREE-stuff, and no FREE-dom to demand it, when Free-dom will define its true value.

There's 10,000 ways to say it, but that's the crux of it!

It occurs to me that the far-right-wingers could also have allied. Except that they haven't.

I'm fairly sure the desire for power to be 'all theirs, and theirs alone' (the type of 'small government' they have preferred historically, commonly called a dictatorship) actively prevents them from allying.

Perhaps the far-right just aren't too bright?

Hey, that rhymes!

a reply to: gortex

Liberals and NDP (New Democratic Party) pulled the same bullsh#t here, last election.

Traitors, really.

You know what the will of the people is, yet you scheme to circumvent it.

Yep..

Huh? Since when are you an expert on France or any other nation politics or policies but your own? We have seen your fellows down under challenge you over not knowing it there too.

I nor you are qualified to make your post with a straight face.

"Dictatorial" is what the leftist assholes are, period. You do need to go to your safe space soon I am guessing because you can't handle the truth. If you think a reduced size in Gov is dictatorial you might need Hillary's reeducation camp she is proposing instead of the normies.

do citizens think there is mass cheating going on.

No. They just don't like fascist's.

As Goretex stated "Cobbled together". That was done by the real fascists. Right leaning means less gov leaning.

No it doesn't. Far-right 'really fascist' governments have been tyrannical dictatorships.

Right-wing dictatorship - Wikipedia

Le Pen is a less gov type and not Fascists who are after control of all Businesses that compete with their goals. A slightly different model but Communist none the less when the ink is dry. They keep saying Fascism is businesses controlling gov and granted the people controlling gov are using funding made in the banking/finance/business world that is designed to control the competition. In so doing they control the companies that sell us food and are likely abusing us now.

Corporatism under right-wing governments of the past has not been constrained. In fact, corporates usually promoted how nationalistic they are as part of their advertising.

Nope.
100% rigged election results.

There is no way Macron is more popular than LePen.
NONE.

Mass election fraud.

Macron and LePen weren’t even in the election.

This was a parliamentary election which is determined by the amount of seats. Every party on the left formed a coalition just like Bibi has done many times.

Nobody believes this anymore. The left will swing and tapdance. And I will sing and dance.
I’m nobody’s slave and I’m so much smarter than the left.
I refuse. I resist.

Just asking for FRIEND.. What makes you so much smarter than the left?
Tell us what makes you so much smarter than us, and give tangible examples of your high intelligence please.

You are either gaslighting us , or you haven't educated yourself with history yet.

Take some time to read-up on the Far Right ideology , and examples in the past of Far Right governments... hint

Germany pre world war 2 is a good example..

a reply to: CriticalStinker

Do you think that's the language the socialists use when speaking to their base?

a reply to: CriticalStinker

Yes, but reality isn't always comparable to perception.

How many times do we hear Americans going on about "democracy" (Usually Liberals)?

It's a misperception, but a perception, nonetheless...

It's also a tool to use when you want to misconstrue things.

Either way..
