Refractory Gauls, or the French politics thread

[celedhring]

My flat is terribly insulated, which I'll say it is actually a good thing over here 

[Sheilbh]

So far over 160 third or lower placed candidates have stepped down to help block the RN - 120 NPF, 45 LREM (which will only step down for the "democratic and republican" left) and a Republican.

[Josquius]

That sounds good.
Were the left mostly in 3rd place? Seems unfair they're standing aside so much more.

[Sheilbh]

No, the left came second. They're standing aside everywhere where they're not first or second. Macron's party are standing aside where there is a PS or Green candidate (or, I think, anti-Ciotti Republican) in first or second, but not for LFI (largest party in the NPF) or Communists.

LFI is confirmed as no, but communistd are fine.

I am a little worried Macron is going to hand this thing to Le Pen if he does this.

Better le pen then melenchon, if those are the options

What kind of crazy voting does France have?  Triangles?  Duels?

This video explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1UlXVomJq0

Triangles are fairly rare. Quadrangles are virtually unheard of. Duels are basically just like our runoff elections.

From what I understand of him, melenchon is shit. Quite the Putin apologist, eurosceptic, and really old school in his views about women-I've heard a lot of a controversy he was involved with in supporting a particularly nasty friend.

But compared to Le Pen? He doesn't strike me as a threat to France.

[Tamas]

Fuck France we need to avoid having a Putin-cock sucker in charge of it.

[Valmy]

Mélenchon isn't exactly Léon Blum despite both leading front populaires.

How does Le Pen feel about Uncle Vlad?

Well now that you mention it l, 0rban financed Le Pen's organisation not too long ago so there must be a link there.

Melenchon is no better. And he's a hamas cock-sucker as well

But compared to Le Pen? He doesn't strike me as a threat to France.

and that's where you're mistaken

[Duque de Bragança]

You get an even worse one at that with Mélenchon, of the selective anti-imperialist variety.
Plus islamo-leftist.
Make your pick.
