France’s far-right fails to gain majority in ‘shock’ exit poll result

“In reality, this is a big loss for them.”
France’s National Rally made a lot of gains in the parliamentary election but ended up in third place behind the left-wing and centrist blocs, says France 24 correspondent Emma James.

It's not the 'far right'!. It's just the right. The far left is now so far left that anything slightly to the right appears far away.

[@thebackup2121]

If there is no far right, then is it really reasonable to use far left as a category either? That would be disingenuous and in line with the ever present attempt to demonise lefties and their values, which given conservative values have held power for far longer started much much earlier than the left being big enough to call out the right leaning people and their values. But to the point, I think that politics may change but as the Overton Window moves one way or the other, both ends of the political spectrum currently in a country will be "the far ___" conceptually. Even so, it is a repudiation of any politics lacking compassion that is at the root of criticism of right wing politics even if it is only referring to economic/quality of life affecting policy, over time the right has only worked harder and harder to limit people's rights and make the poor poorer in many countries

Immigration is the scapegoat not the cause. The cause is corrupt politicians, that's where you should aim your ire

Have you ever considered the idea that a country which accepts people irrespective of their origins and celebrates difference as opposed to trying to homogenise and eradicate it, could actually become a really great culture all its own ☺️

[@NicholasBrakespear]

@@ACameronUK "celebrates difference" "become a really great culture all its own" The entirety of human history is against you on this. You don't bring people together by celebrating that which divides them. That's not even remotely logical, and it's not how things play out. What history shows us is that any time you have a large influx of a foreign culture, either it is diluted to the point of disappearing into the host culture... or the host culture disappears. Alternatively, if neither culture surrenders? You end up with the collapse of the overall nation, and the emergence of smaller, bickering city-states, each one home to a particular dominant culture. Have you ever considered the idea that we've done all this before? That we've seen all this before? That, during periods of history when the planet was far more merciless about our survival - when diplomacy was not highly evolved, when disease was rampant, when a single crop failure could result in widespread famine... optimal patterns evolved for the peace and prosperity of a given society, and that our post-war deviation from these patterns is largely untested, and all the data we actually have so far tells us... that these deviations are not successful. That you can't just take different cultures, do a smiley face, tell them all to keep doing what they've always done, and expect things to work out nicely. In fact, you know what happens when two cultures who are "celebrating their differences" are put together? They "celebrate their differences" harder, in a more pronounced way. They become more orthodox, more radical; the close proximity of another culture results in the instinctive desire to affirm and cement their own culture; to make sure they know who they are, and that their children know who they are. In other words, all the evidence shows us that when you take one culture, put it next to another, and say "you don't need to change"... they not only don't change, they actually become less compatible.

[@NicholasBrakespear]

@@mypointofview1111 When pro-immigration people are telling us simultaneously that we have to save the planet and go green, while also telling us that we have to build millions of new homes every year to keep up with demand... uh... yeah immigration is the cause. I mean, when you're literally reaching the point of saying you need to pave over countryside to mass produce homes to house the incoming population, while also saying you need to increase the incoming population in order to create a workforce to build the houses... ...um, yeah, immigration is definitely a problem, no matter how corrupt politicians are.

Sources traditionally label the party as far-right.[6] However, some media outlets have started to refer to the party as "right-wing populist" or "nationalist right" instead, arguing that it has substantially moderated from its years under Jean-Marie Le Pen.[25]
