An update on the earlier news, PS has suspended negotiations, at least for now, citing LFI's "hegemonic logic" among other things.

BYE BYE CAZENEUVE!

Down with the PS crocodiles

The departure of senior PS figures is not good news and it undermines the ability to build a functional, pro-European center-left in the future, which is one of the many reasons that I opposed this pact. I'd still support PS, but I hate Melenchon and cheering on the replacement of the center left by Melenchon is just disgusting.

What problem people have with Melenchon?

I've listed all the issues I have of him in another thread. Mostly his most disgusting stance given the moment is his pro-Russian Alignment views. This is a guy that said Russia would solve the Syrian civil war and that they were not an aggressor in the current Ukraine conflict.

In terms of his polarising image in France though, it largely surrounds his character and the fact that his minions are absolutely insufferable online.

In addition to all of this, he has also made statements which raise suspicions of anti-Semitism.

Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne is leading 52-48% in her constituency.

Source? Le Monde doesn't have any results in for that constituency.

And the secret is revealed:

Ipsos statistic: 72% of Round 1 Ensemble voters in NUPES/RN runoffs stayed home, with the rest dividing marginally for NUPES. So All that was left in the electorate was LR/UDI voters, who went RN, and the now outnumbered NUPES.

Anyone who now supports Macron is more evil than the far-right itself.

This is just obviously untrue, I don't think there's anything more to be said.
