Should the Labor Party disband?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

This is such a strange thread. Why are we comparing fake elections between "citizens" who all know each other to UK politics, especially now that we've all more or less cynically decided that winning elections is less about appeal and more about PMing zombies?

Not only that, why are we suggesting that emulating the Liberal Democrats is a strategy for electoral success? I think it should have been pretty clear that nobody likes these "rich man's centrist party" types and nobody wants to vote for them.

Well...



...sometimes.

"The other lady is a Nazi" really isn't a fair case study. Isn't Macron incredibly unpopular these days?

From what I read, he campaigned like white Obama or something when he won his first election. His managed to rebrand neoliberal policies as grassroots, anti-establishment, and 'cool'.

Well Clegg was mildly popular once too; but even after the PS collapsed Macron was still only able to get like a third of the vote in the first round and won in the second because he was the non-FN candidate. Not exactly a model the Feds should want to emulate!

As far as French presidents go he is reasonably popular. And by that I mean he has what, a 35% approval rating? Big improvement over Hollande's 4% though

He will only win reelection indeed cause he is likely to face someone named Le Pen though

His approval rating would be about 10 points lower if it weren't for Covid. Oddly enough, Covid was good for most world leaders.

tbf this isn't the French electorate.

How many people in Atlasia would like Macron?

Honestly he'd probably beat a left candidate, given that Le Pen was leading Hidalgo in a recent runoff poll. The biggest threat to Macron probably would come from an LR candidate, who rightists would vote and leftists might become convinced that there isn't much of a difference between the two and stay home. He's in that odd center where everyone hates him, but enough people hate the alternative even more.
