  • The ink on the campaign posters barely had time to dry. Yet, France’s frenzied snap legislative election races are nearly over. President Macron hoped to clear the air with his shock dissolution of parliament but after the far-right’s unprecedented surge and so many unholy alliances and tactical withdrawals ahead of the runoffs, good luck predicting the makeup of the next National Assembly.

      It should be allowed in instances where a person is disabled, feeble, or in jail. Not allowing criminals to vote, discourages so many others not to vote. Criminals need to be forced to vote, if they refuse, they get an extra 3 months added to their sentence for unpatriotism.

      It doesn't matter how much you increase the wage, but what matters is inflation. When businesses get taxed more, they put that on the cost of goods and service. You need to reduce the energy tax and other taxes to reduce the price of food and other goods. They need to focus on reducing the cost of living by reducing the cost of doing business.

What were the French most angry about in the past years, their pensions, which is a left position. The right loves leaving people destitute handing all the money to billionaires or selling to American venture capitalists, and then blaming it all on immigrants. Rinse, repeat. That's how the UK got suckered into leaving the EU, and now 30% of their economy belong to Americans who take all of that capital back to the States. Europeans are spending so much time worrying about immigration from their former colonies that they're now being colonized by the venture capitalists.
      Not that immigration isn't an issue, but their issues did not begin there. It was a house of cards that were always ready to fall.

      The voting system has been in place for a long time. There's nothing more shocking about it now, than there was in previous decades. In a country where there are multiple political parties from far left to far right, the 2-rounds system keeps the extremes at bay. You're unhappy now, because the far right gets limited, but keep in mind that the far left is also kept in check by this system. France was and still is a political breeding ground for political extremists, which is why during the French Revolution, an estimated 3.5M French were killed/murdered.
