punk rebel ecks posted:Is Le Pen really that bad of a candidate that she can't beat Macron? Imagine if the Trump family had their own party separate from the Republicans and had brought the token openly fascist candidate to every election since the 70s, with steadily increasing electoral successes (33% last time, 42% this time). She is a pretty bad campaigner, but most importantly she doesn't have the novelty he brought to his campaign. Plus French Boomers still prefer more established candidates and they're the only electorate that matters, same as everywhere else. Anyway, US vs French politics are not that comparable because the two-party system isn't as rigid here, yet. We're heading there though because the left side of the electorate is very well trained at doing the French equivalent of Vote Blue No Matter Who, so a realignment toward something like Macron vs Le Pen was inevitable and will only get stronger in the following years. Only thing that slows it down is Macron's party is at a disadvantage in local elections against old established parties (Socialistes and Républicains) but those two ate so much poo poo this election that they'll probably negotiate something soon.

Right now there is every chance that Macron could become the defining European figure of our age, eclipsing even Merkel, whose legacy is unraveling before our eyes. The French president is not as clever as he thinks he is. He is selfish; he is arrogant; he believes himself the center of the world. And yet, he may well become great.

Toplowtech posted:And miss all the really lucrative post-presidency speeches to mentally challenged bankers? Depends on how well his party do this legislative cycle, which is probably not going to be nearly as good as last time. If it's pretty bad he may tempted to attempt a dissolution later this presidential cycle, but what do i know. this didnt work for sarkozy because no one could tell if it was actually him because no one had a short enough podium

Macron is currently the only major European leader with the vision, ambition and experience to move the union decisively in this direction, but the obstacles are enormous. One of them was in plain view in Sunday’s presidential election, with the high levels both of abstention and of support for Marine Le Pen, his nationalist, nativist opponent. Macron has the faults of his virtues. I have never seen a human being with more drive, ambition, energy and self-belief. But he can often seem arrogant, Jupiterian, neo-Napoleonic – and therefore rubs a great many of his compatriots and fellow Europeans up the wrong way. Macron’s “we” all too often sounds like the royal we, meaning me. To adapt Louis XIV: “L’Europe, c’est moi.”

Watching this extraordinary man, I am always reminded of Jacques-Louis David’s heroic picture of Napoleon Crossing the Alps on a prancing white steed, one arm outstretched to point the way onward and upward.

They're uniting behind Mélenchon for the parliamentary elections. He wants to get a big enough coalition together to topple En Marché's majority and be Prime Minister. Which is quite the long shot. I don't think there has been an executive/legislative split in twenty years.

I sure wish to see the rightwingers who spent the last 30 years telling everyone we had too many beds in hospitals (we will never need that many!) back to power. After all, do you know how much the ecological transition would cost?????  Also they (read Chirac) changed the presidential term from 7 to 5 years in a constitutional referendum which got a 30% turnout. Like gently caress that poo poo, no one was gonna vote no when the Lepens were the only one to call for No. Of course today, most political analysts recognize it was a mistake.

i was pretty involved in mélenchon’s campaign for the presidential election in my constituency and the news we got this morning that we’re gonna have to support some ecologist’s campaign instead of our own candidate was pretty deflating. the woman we had chosen was smart, nice and committed. i wonder who we’ll get. in any case i’m unsure how much energy i’m gonna spend for them. if they’re from the jadot/sas tendency, they can go gently caress themselves.
