French National Assembly Elections, 06/30-07/07

Even if Macrons party dropped  out for LFI the vast majority of their voters would prefer RN anyway .

Northeast in France appears to be for the Right what the Northeast in Brazil is for the Left.

Why is it so awful there? Richer areas or something like that? I’m talking about the French regions near Belgium / Luxembourg / Germany borders where RN seems to be winning their seats already on the 1st round, getting >50% of the vote.

NE is industrial areas that are quite poor.
SE is basically French Florida

Is me or the 2023 Nahel Merzouk protests made National Rally more popular?

The other thing it did was also really hurt the left as the main opposition to Macron.

No one reply on this French electoral thread but we can move the immigration discussion about mass deportations to this thread please.

nfp supporters made it clear wont Accept the results if they lose and their supporters will try a french j6 they are a threat to democracy

The sort of imported anti-Western communism that the petty bourgeois cadres of the French left wish to impose upon the country would be a mortal danger for the Republic; you just need to look at the insurrectional protests taking place across the cities. Everyone from the civilized center-left to the right should vote against the Popular Front’s barbaric worldview.

I do have my doubts that voters who have stuck with Macron deapite it all will now massively vote for the Far-Left Front, which includes the literal Communist Party, the Trotskyite Melenchonist party and the neocommunist Greens. Large parts of which are even more pro-Russian than RN and whose program would bankrupt France. Honestly I would've been an Ensemble-abstain voter in this contest.

...We really need a ban in this thread on people who clearly don't understand French politics and have no interest in engaging with the election news and results (the purpose of the thread.)

How is the 3rd post not engaging with the election results ? It’s literally discussing the truth that a large portion of Macronist voters do not like a lot of the left wing candidates and will either abstain or even vote for RN. Don’t forget that most LR voters will also pick RN against a NFP candidate .

Did you not see the breakdown of Macronista transfers from the last Assembly election?

That’s last election ? A lot has happened since then . Polls from what I saw a week ago showed pretty favorable vote transfers. Now post 1st round transfers show a closer to tied election except with LFI. Some of this I guess is because the left is already defeated and can’t get a majority so a decent portion of Macronist voters are going with the left while few are going for RN.

I also love all the whining about personal politics in this thread when there’s basically a post every page using the words Panzergirl.

We were discussing a week ago or so about low Muslim turnout. I assume this time around the fear of Le Pen increased their turnout ?
