I love these miserable factoids that get dragged out every election. "After this economist tortures data points, he came up with a magic formula that predicts EVERY single election in the past thirty years, aside from all the elections in which it doesn't remotely do that".
Only men named François are capable of winning French presidential elections for the left, but if the right nominates a man called François, he won't even make it to the second round. Coincidence? I think not 🧐
Idea: get someone by the name of Francois Francois to run for president of France and see them win the nominations of both the left and the right together on route to a handsome, magnificent win in the first round.
