France’s historic far-right election victory explained

As the French prime minister warned that the far-right was now at the 'gates of power' - the country's left wing and centrist parties are frantically trying to stop that happening.
[Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe]
The National Rally emerged with 33% of the votes after the first round of voting - and a record turnout.
Now all eyes are focused on this weekend's second round - and whether the other parties will come to a tactical agreement to block them.

I’m not surprised at all, France is a country with double standards both at home and abroad.

People can always lie but numbers never lie, remember this. Shell should be hiring 10% locals but won’t even do that and somehow it’s the ethnic people’s fault when riots happen. Also, a right wing government may takeover but its French children who will feel the pain of upheaval and their building destroyed when problems starts because someone else child is left with broken heart and dreams.

no not really macron won later on regardless of that.

The great irony is that the French political establishment abolished PR for elections after FN(now RN) won 35 seats in the 80s. The very system that was supposed to prevent them from gaining power has now quite possibly put them into power with more seats than they’ve ever had.
