France 2017: Results Thread

[seb_pard]

In election after election across the West, the Left has collapsed and the Right has either collapsed or adapted itself to the Far-Right. Each election has shown the "new left" being composed of white collar and minority, neoliberal, globalists against working and middle class nationalists. This does not bode well for those of us who support a Left detached from neoliberalism.

If it helps, the left here in Spain went from around 35% to about 42% (PSOE dropped 5 points, but Podemos/IU tripled their share). Plus our voting patterns do not resemble what you say at all. (either that or everyone is part of the "new left")

The Iberian Peninsula really defies this overarching downfall of the left narrative. Portugal more than Spain but still.  

The same applies to Greece, in many ways. Which raises the question of what potential factor(s) might set those countries apart politically from the rest of the "West"? But even with that stated, the mainstream left in those countries have been severely disrupted with the rise of new or alternative left-wing parties (that aren't neoliberal).

Probably because those countries were affected by military juntas a few decades ago. Their political story developed differently from other countries in Europe.

The only conservative thing about these "conservatives" in Europe is going to church on Christmas. LMAO, what a bunch of traitors but so many honest righ-wing people are falling for it...

Whatever, not bad for LePen to have the whole Establishment against her. Makes it easier to get the 40% I rate as a success.

The only honest rightism supports the freedom of trade and movement. Protectionism and restrictions are characteristics of far-leftist regimes.

The only consistent feature of rightist throughout history is nationalism.

Bullsh*t. The only consistent feature of rightists throughout history is supporting the rich and powerful.

Exactly.

Well, about this election. Not the outcome that I hoped, but well, Macron is not awful. As Hamon said, he is not an enemy of the republic
