Glad you get my point. Yes, winning an election isn't the only thing, we agree there.

But Macron, by not giving a chance to NPF meanwhile simultaneously attacking them (don't ignore his narrative the whole time), is the one causing the instability, not the side who isn't given the power to even try.

Also, all sides use all sorts of rhetoric to strengthen their hand pre-negotiations. These declarations at this stage never matter. Macron holds the key and is causing the instability. Soon people will go on streets, he'll paint them as "anarchists" and try to garner more centrist support.

I said this three months ago - Macron's way was increasing instability.

He should've let the regular process take its course and let the winner of the election form the government. Instead he did a soft coup.

A liberal blocking the left and causing far right rise. A tale as old as time.

Power consolidation=evil.

What you seem to fail to understand is that, had Macron put a left prime minister in power, the government would not have lasted 3 months like this one, but 3 days. The situation is structurally fucked in France until next year summer, even Macron resigning and launching a new presidential elections wouldnt change shit.

You are speculating. NPF wasn't given a chance. Centrists were. And they fucked it up, that's just what happened.

Speculating?
Yeah that's really a wild speculation to say that liberals and far right would censor an NPF government. Borderline science fiction! 🤯

Scenario 1: Given them a chance to negotiate as the regular process has always been. If they succeed in forming, great. If they fail, then do what you want to do.

Scenario 2: Don't give them a chance, diverge from the regular process, disfranchise them in narrative, and push a technocrat to form government, let far right rise, prove Chainleft right.

🤷🏽‍♂️

This doesn't work, because each of the three block is fake negotiating.
NPF, Liberals & Far Right are all pretending to negotiate, but it's always within the boarders of their ideology. Ideology that is fundamentally rejected by the 2 other blocks systematically. None of the 3 blocks is willing to give up on ideology and show the slightest agreement with one of the other block, because that would be seen as compromission, meaning sacrificing their chances for the next presidential elections. They would then be seen as sellout, and fail to get popular votes.

believe me, this is EXACTLY what's happening right now, nothing more, nothing less.

The amount of centrist willing to side with the NPF is already established, and it's clearly not enough to form a majority. Centrists have zero incentives to give credibility to an NPF government, especially after having spent the past 2 years saying they were outside of the republican arch (for LFI) and criticizing them for siding with terrorists re: what's happening in israel/palestine. They would lose A LOT of votes to the right and far right if they did that, and they know it.

The chance was given to the centrist just, and literally just because far right declared that they would not a priori censor this governement. For a left government, the other blocks have already declared they would censor it immediately. 

to be fair though, I do want Macron to nominate someone from the NPF, so that  we can finally move on from this mirage and acknowledge this, also, is not a solution.

Centrists have more wiggle room there. IMHO if NPF had the charge to negotiate, centrists could side with them and wouldn't be seen as hypocrites.

But mine here is also a speculation ofc. NPF could have been given a chance, and wasn't given in the end.

That chance was given to less populist center, and they had to negotiate with populists who has less wiggle room because they are populists. And it didn't work. As expected.

I don't disagree it's tough, but I think NPF had more probability to solve it. We now know centrist solution doesn't / didn't work at least.
