Toplowtech posted:Turns out that even fascists don't want to go vote on sunny week-ends (and/or lepen is just another mediocre politician), that on the regional level the presidential party doesn't exist (at least when it's not a classical case of "we elected that idiot, better elect that idiot parliament too"). I guess the french electorate like to try news thing from time to time, i am just not sure they like extreme centrism, you may want to try again in 40 years. Nearly every region reelected the current region's president and the parties of the 2 favorite for the next presidential election ate poo poo. Like if the next parliamentary election was with the same mold, macron's party would get like nearly no one elected. They have currently 55% of the parlement seat. If Macron, for some reason (like i don't know 5 years of insane unpopularity), doesn't end up president again, i am pretty sure i will see some centrist politicians commit suicide. Basically, the media spent a few years singing about a change in the political world with a new centrist versus fascist duality and the french electorate just said "no gently caress YOU, i prefer left versus right, you may add some green poo poo but gently caress you, really". I thought in a few regions a bunch of parties pulled their candidates to ratfuck LePen by consolidating support to the leading non-LePen candidate?

If you want another funny spin, i have noticed that some part of the US press like to point out that despite his electoral non-victory, Macron is still more popular than t he previous two presidents... who were some of the most hated presidents ever. Sarkozy was in the 30% range and Hollande (in part for applying Macron's economic policies but also betraying many beliefs of his own party) was in the one digit range. Also Eric Zemmour, a far right-wing polemicist/trash person, who is bassicaly French Ben Shappiro but over 5'5'' and with Algerian jew origin, decided to push his candidacy to the next presidential election. He probably felt the weakness in Le Pen position. So don't be surprised if she doesn't end up in the second round, because even if he doesn't too, he will surely steal some votes.

Red and Black posted:Uh, so is Le Pen within striking distance of the presidency? Because it sure seems so Fyi to be elected after just the first round, she would need 50+% of the vote. Otherwise the second round pit the two biggest scores of the first round. And there is always a national union vote against FN/RN in the second round but not surprisingly it's less and less effective each time: Chirac got elected at 82%, Macron at 66%.

i say swears online posted:ps and labour went the same way, at least the french were smart enough to go elsewhere The french went elsewhere, but they chose en marche. Never understood their logic "we hate the crypto neoliberal ps so we'll elect the openly neoliberal party" I don't get lrem's appeal. If they elected LePen I could at least understand in the opposite direction after Hollande's betrayal. Obviously they figured out they hate macron and his I'll pretty quickly. That just begs the question why the electorate didn't they expect macron to govern exactly as he said he would govern.

Dreddout posted:The french went elsewhere, but they chose en marche. Never understood their logic "we hate the crypto neoliberal ps so we'll elect the openly neoliberal party" It's mostly because it was an alternative to the "good old main rightwing and leftwing parties" that wasn't LePen. Of course they could vote Melenchon but hey "my family wealth!"

There are some side cases where it is difficult to get vaccinated making this an issue. We were both sick in April so we couldn’t get vaccinated until now, and since we’re trying to have a kid my partner was dissuaded when she went I. person due to a lovely doctor. She’s going back finally on the 21st, two days before our vacation but it was tricky. I can only imagine the frustration of those who were sick in May let alone June. There’s no real mechanisms to let you do stuff in those cases despite being “immune” according to the government. That said the amount of anti vaxxers in France never ceases to surprise me.

But in most case here, it 's because people weren't expecting to have to vaccinate despite everyone telling them to since the beginning of the year. Also yeah it fucks over the people who were sick at the beginning of the vaccination period. Still a large amount of the people complaining are giant lazy self-centered douche, not the people who should complain really. quote:That said the amount of anti vaxxers in France never ceases to surprise me.

This might not be the right thread, but would I be onto something to say that France's most significant colonial legacy is in Africa, and that France had colonial success in Africa to the same degree that the Spanish had in the Americas? I read that it's estimated that up to 85% of French speakers will be living in Africa by 2050, so like Latin Americans eclipse the Spanish, African francophones will eclipse France and Quebec in population and linguistic variety and perhaps even economically in total. In other words, the future of French is African. E: You could make a similar analogy of the UK vs North America and the Pacific. America Inc. has issued a correction as of 10:11 on Aug 4, 2021 |

I’m looking for a book that covers modern French history/politics for the 4th and 5th republic periods. Looking for coverage of the collapse of French imperialism in Algiers and Vietnam. The crisis leading to the 5th republic, and the student protests of the 1960’s. And also a survey of the politics of the last 3 decades. Any recommendations?

The biggest mistake any of us made was thinking that the left in the western world had any chance at all, hate to break it to you but the cards were stacked against the left from the start and we thought people would show up without realizing that the left is in a strangle hold of being hated by the liberals, outperformed by the right, split amongst idiots too high up their own asses to unite and fought to the death by the media. there's no possibility of the left winning in the white world, sorry but it's the truth.
