It's literally the lowest participation % since 1969(which was a right-winger versus right-winger 2de round). Still projected to end around 70-75% or between +20 +25% bigger than the American Presidential election. We are extremely ashamed. Toplowtech fucked around with this message at 17:42 on May 7, 2017 |

Uhh, this is exactly the long-shot scenario that could result in a Le Pen win. I'm not saying she is going to, but this describes what needed to happen for her to have a path. "It was thought that Mr Macron could build a larger voting base than Ms Le Pen, as he was expected to mop up votes in the second round from those who support mainstream Right and Left candidates in the first. But it appeared last night that a large number of supporters for the conservative, Francois Fillon, and the far-Left Jean-Luc Melenchon stayed home on election day. And a vast number chose to spoil their ballots or abstain at the polls - as many as 29% of voters, according to one estimate.

29% abstention is about what the polls that had macron winning 62-38 had.

idiot frecnhman posted:But for Jean-Philippe Sacquepey, 57, Le Pen represented a much greater destiny for France. “This republic can’t last,” he says. “We must return to the monarchy.” For that, there was only one candidate. “The Le Pen family is descended from Joan of Arc,” Sacquepey insisted. “I voted for Marine – the heart of Joan of Arc still beats.” France is special.

No the guy who likes Joan D'arc is right we should live out the experience of Le Pen in the exact same way Joan lived especially the ending where she got burned at the stake.

Afternoon, I've been trying to follow the French election recently and it made me realize I don't know anything about French politics. So I'm looking around for some book recommendations and I was hoping folks in here might be able to help. I'm looking for anything from the beginning of the 18th century to present, really, but stuff from the 20th century dealing with De Gaulle, Algeria, etc would be especially appreciated. I'd be interested in any book that is relatively comprehensive about its era, still current/reliable in its info (meaning hasn't been outdated by subsequent research or newer interpretations), and hopefully engaging to read without being too dry or academic. Thanks to anyone who can assist.

Are you ready for the final chapter of fascism becoming a legitimate political force in this hosed-up country we call France? https://twitter.com/bengallerey/status/861274060529049600 say goodbye to the "Front National", and get ready for a new and improved brand that doesn't have a history of being racist assholes

A Buttery Pastry posted:Liberalism correlates with supporting the conditions that give rise to fascism. Based on which countries in the EU which are considered the freest in an economic sense, we can also say they have the least problem with nationalism and is therefore anti-correlated. Or the correct answer which is that the issue is more complicated than simply using straw mans like neoliberalism and fascism to handwave away issues.

Wait what the hell does Joan of Arc have to do with the monarchy? Joan of Arc was born to peasants and died a peasant. Wouldn't there be better candidates? Like, royal families?

Also the hysteria around her "legend" is one who never slow the gently caress down And she wasn't a "peasant", she did guard the animals from time to time (but she was from the countryside), her father was an artisan not some poor chap. The d'Arc weren't some poo poo familly. Also her loving taste in furred dress/clothes weren't cheap. *No son of England shall rule France. Basically everything you probably learned about Joan of Arc is probably George Washington's wooden teeth level nonsense. Toplowtech fucked around with this message at 19:01 on May 7, 2017 |
