Thing is the anti-immigration thing in Europe isn't an arbitrary outgrown of imperfect human souls it's a real response to a failed policy that was supposed to yield practical results and it's something Europe will have to deal with because people seem less willing to assimilate there. The US is more fortunate in that assimilation seems easier

[@Selvarin]

Assimilation is being made harder by the current administration throwing the border gates wide-open while saying, "What? No, we're protecting the border. Nothing going on here." They're trying to do to the US what's being done to EU countries. ~ Once in a while, politicians should actually listen to the voters and do their job.

I am confused of how the French election works. Can someone please explain? Because the RN party has more than 4 million votes compare to NFP. Yet the RN came in third and NFP first. 4 million votes are 6% of the France population and almost 10% of the people that actually voted in this election (the turnout rate). In US history, there were only 5 times candidates won popular votes but lost electoral votes and the biggest difference was 2.8 millions votes (2016) which was less than 1% of the US population. If this is how democracy works in France, then there maybe some fundamentally wrong with the system. And how is nobody is explaining or talking about this?

[@aidanclarke6106]

For this election, France is divided into 577 areas (named circonscriptions), each of which elects one representative. The main factor is that the National Rally had a huge number of candidates (386) compared to other parties (presidential party 218 and the New Popular Front 281) so they got a large number of individual votes but they actually did not win in a lot of circonscriptions.

[@roninkegawa1804]

It is all rigged. The right got 48% of the votes and finished 3rd. The left with 28% finished 1st. Because the vote does not count in the end. The political parties behind closed doors decide who wins. This is the french version of democracy. Then they want to give Russians a lesson in freedom.

[@LA-kc7ev]

Or the British. How can the left get something like 34% of the vote and then 65% of the seats in Parliament?

[@vinnythejinny]

There are 2 rounds of elections. In the first round Le Pen's party won the popular vote but its not the final vote. if In the first round, if the winning candidates secures more than 50% of vote, he is declare a winner but if its lower than 50%, then it goes to second round, where the top 2-3 candidates (depending on vote share) go against each other. Now since there were other parties in the first round, those votes either go to left or right wing parties. In second round, Left parties all came together and dropped their candidates in a "triagular" fights, ensuring left party vote consolidation to defeat the right wing party.
