President Emmanuel Macron called the snap vote after his centrist alliance was soundly beaten in the European elections by Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party earlier this month.
This will not happen. What we’re fighting for today is depriving the far-right and its allies from getting more than half the seats in the national assembly. We actually have a chance to prevent them from becoming our new government, but nothing is sure yet.
Whatever happens, the next 1 to 3 years is/are going to suck a lot.
Interesting how quickly things can change. According to the exit polls, lefties might win the most seats, followed by Macaron and then by the right-wingers.
Yeah I was very surprised. I thought the best it can be hoped for is that RN cannot form a government, but they might actually end up in 3rd place. Let’s go France!
Not really. The scenario where the left wins the most seats is the least probable one. The two that can really happen are the far right gaining enough seats to govern the country, or nobody having a majority.
It’s not a high stake election. We already know who’s going to win and we know they’re going to regret it in a couple years.
Given how their election system works, it might very well be that the left alliance wins most seats. I guess we will know soon.
And it happened ! I was wrong, and I’m happy I was :)
It seems like you were right. Very well done, france

Yes !
I was wrong and I’m so happy @poVoq turned out to be right :)
I’m also very happy that I was wrong 😄

That’s litterally the same as I wrote.
