What are some good websites for the election?

Interesting thread.  I haven't visited this forum for at least six years but I was searching for discussion of the French election and encountered this.  I see some familiar names.  Cheers.

Despite joining after you and only seeing you in old threads, I hope you stay.

If Melenchon was appointed Prime Minister, seeing the reactions of everyone will be funny.

Melenchon will finish so close to taking Le Pen out of the runoff but won’t do it.

If only some people didn’t waste their vote going for people with no chances like Hidalgo, Jadot or even the Communist Party candidate (who performed better than Hidalgo), Le Pen’s political career would’ve been done.

Mélenchon is solely to blame. He is the one that ruled out a primary because, in his own words, the first round is the primary.

And the trio of selfless egoless figures of Hildalgo, Jadot, and Roussel obviously never would have acted like that had they been in his shoes.
Melanchon's belief that he alone could muster support beyond the miniscule group of people who'd vote in such a primary has been proven to be completely accurate. Could it just be that Fabian Roussel, etc truly does have bad politics and should be marginalized?

If anything, these results show Melenchon was completely right in ditching the center-left trash lol. His appeal comes from being anti-system. He’s stealing a lot of Le Pen areas because of that and showing the left HOW you fight the populist right.

The likes of Jadot/Hidalgo cannot even get to 5%, they have no leverage for demands.

Ok chaps, for the sake of argument let's take Hidalgo and Jadot out of the equation (even though Jadot by virtue of his non-candidacy in 2017 probably is pretty selfless yes. All Mélenchon had to do was bring Roussel and the PCF on board...that didn't happen because Mélenchon refuses to even consider any challenge to his own hegemony, and is outright ditching most Left symbology anyway because what he wants is the Jean-Luc Mélenchon show, not any genuine Left government.

I can't imagine a more ideologically bankrupt party than the PCF. Why should i have any sympathy for them? They deserved any unkind treatment they got from Melanchon.

And Melenchon doesn't deserve their support unconditionally.

lol Zemmour is being investigated because his campaign made a list of all French jews and he bought a list of their phone numbers to target them for his campaign.
