    How can it be a majority government if his party is the second largest after NFP and before RN? Without NFP nor RN, isn’t it by definition a minority government?

    I feel like I’m missing something…

      He’s hoping to work with individual parties (PS, PCF, Greens) that are currently part of the NFP, in order to exclude LFI from the equation.

        If the NFP doesn’t break up, then that doesn’t sound like a path forward. From what I’ve heard, French media, Macron, and his party have been painting LFI to be worse than RN for some reason that I can’t understand.

        Probably he’ll blame the NFP for not wanting to break up with LFI and say they’re at fault for hindering a coalition. I bet that’s his next move.

          Macron, and his party have been painting LFI to be worse than RN for some reason that I can’t understand.

          My guess: €€€

          That, or he’s still fantasising that he can controle the situation and win through “political wits” and authority.

          I’m speculating, but I feel like if his party doesn’t rule, Macron will completely lose controle over it. So he’s doing absolutely everything he can for that to not happen. But he will have to face reality at some point. Unfortunately the 5th Republic of France doesn’t encourage him to be reasonable.

      To the best of my understanding, NFP campaigned together but that doesn’t mean they they necessarily must govern together. I.e. Macron is trying to pick and choose which parties from NFP he is willing to work with.

      Easy, Macron said he wouldn’t talk to LFI or RN anymore. Without LFI and RN, macron’s party is the largest.

        The biggest of brains! Like the kid in hide and seek that closes its eyes and demands it’s now invisible.
