Geopolitics

I think everyone expected Le Pen's win in France.

Am I the only one who's cautiously but pleasantly surprised about the Left's performance? They seem to have done better than expectations, and are not far off from the far right.

Or maybe I'm just coping 😅

i like the optimism of @chainleft but this map is a bit less nice to look at 

the dark colour you see is the extreme right / Front National so basically they won everywhere except Paris and some major cities

very sorry state of affairs really

Parliament elections process in France has been outdated for more than 20 years.
The number of voters is not aligned with the number of seats, there is also a “winner bonus” ending up with 80% of the people unhappy with the new assembly.
But the members of parliament are the ones who have to work on changing that voting process… so nothing changes

What do you think happens in the 2eme tour?

Center and Right voters vote against left candidates, and RN gets full majority in the parliament.
They can vote a state of emergency, gain full power, and then 1933 all over again.
