Thanks Joshua. Great breakdown. 8:19 is 🤣. As you said, same in the US. PPP - People. Power. Politics. Can be a very bad cocktail at times. Can be great at times. Hope all turns out well.

Salute to you joshua! Amazing information! as I'm seeing videos of french people which are angry with election results and some immigrants which are putting stall(thela in hindi) in front of Eiffel tower. The situation in france isn't that smooth right now. Im planning to do mim from France next year. Any suggestions? What would be your view as person who wanted study in france and then settle but many immigrants are disturbing france culture. Nowadays everything is going against france and many negative things are coming out. So a final suggestion by your side?

[@nephilmis]

Josh, great video as usual! But I believe you are mistaken between 'minority' and 'majority'. Case in point -- at 7:57 RN was a majority not a minority

[@JoshuaBalata]

Thank you! I didn’t find the word majority or minority in the European elections this year, but wouldn’t a imply more than 50% of the seats?

[@nephilmis]

@@JoshuaBalata That's a good question! I am afraid I don't have an answer to that. Just to reiterate so that I understand correctly, you are highlighting the 'biggest' among all 'minorities' as no party got the 'absolute majority'-- hence you used 'biggest minority'. I was stuck to the point that the word 'majority' itself means 'greater number'; and that's why almost all voting systems in the world define their 'absolute majority' e.g., 50% + 1 of all available seats. I believe general consensus and press would keep on mentioning that RN got majority in the first round of voting but not the absolute majority. Someone with more knowledge than us might throw some more light on proper phrasing of this. On a side note, I am glad that I found your channel and subscribed it. Great content as always. Keep up the good work!!. P.S.> Your pdf is a treasure trove. I have downloaded and printed it and am carrying it with me to France.
