I read that with Macron's finance background he's expected to take a hard line against British financial interests in the brexit.

Coolguye posted:holocaust denial is one of those things that mystifies 24/7, but i can at least understand how toolbags like ahmadinejad got there; their culture wasn't directly affected by the nightmare, so it's seductive to smugly go 'well ACTUALLY' and make some poo poo up. how the gently caress can you be french and be a denier though? like did all of those people that got packed into boxcars and hauled off in vichy france just kind of resurface later in austria or switzerland, happy and fat? like what the gently caress this literally happened right in front of your father's eyes and the same government records you rely on to do poo poo on a daily basis attest that there are thousands upon thousands of people who just sort of stopped existing with no explanation. the gently caress do you think happened, man? How can you be French and be a Vichy like Le Pen? Many people are just bad.

If affluent people were more likely to vote for Macron and poor people more likely to vote for Le Pen, doesn't that mean affluent people tend to be better than poor people?

Pener Kropoopkin posted:That hasn't stopped you from posting about how much you admire Theresa May anyway. I admire her as a person even if I don't admire her politics. She looks as prime-ministerial as a person possibly can. She's magnificent.  She seems very earnest and hard-working. She spent an almost unprecedentedly long time in one of the most demanding and vitally important roles in the British government, Home Secretary, and parlayed that into leadership of her whole nation. The fact that she and nigel farage are some of the most effective and influential britons in a generation is not an indictment of them, it is an indictment of britain.

If you weren't basically a teenager who thought everyone that disagrees with you about anything is evil, elections wouldn't be about the lesser of two evils anymore. Adulthood is partly about learning to mold your expectations to the real world and making peace with it.

White Rock posted:Eh, not impossible. First established left has to finishing stabbing itself in the heart by embracing centrism, then the replacements can come. They just gotta be populists. Bernie "the new ron paul" Sanders got his rear end kicked bad by hillary clinton. Corbyn just presided over one landslide loss and is set to preside over another in June, then either resign in disgrace or destroy the labour party itself. Meanwhile, in France, centrist politics smashed the far right in a stunning and devastating blow to the mouths that repeat over and over again "centrism can't win."

Agnosticnixie posted:Reminder that Chirac won with 80% of the vote in 02. The pandora's box opened by brexit, trump, the irresistible social pressures of the refugee/migrant crisis, years of Kremlin propaganda and meddling, all of it together hardly made a dent in the final accounting. Vive la France et vive le centre!

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:a stunning and devastating blow in which 1/3 of voters chose neither candidate, which surely means le pen and her ideology have been decisively beat back and will in no way reemerge for the next election, no siree So right nationalism only got 23%, not 35%? Even better. Anyway its not fruitful to wring your hands over how many people didn't vote. The people who show up count, and among them, centrism won a great victory today.
