Why are all parties so fractured in France.

Get the point?
Oh come on, not all of it can be directly attributed to egos of the party leaders.
On the last point I do have some insight. The PCF has a more strict sense of obeying Marxist-Leninist dogma than the “movement” that is FI; being made up of a hodgepodge of old school social democrats, Green dissenters, and Leftist French Nationalists. Since the PCF won’t budge on policy and contains members hesitant on coalition cooperation, the parties remain separate.
