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...]
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.

. History has shown that empires often collapse when they become too focused on perpetuating their power rather than addressing the needs of their citizens. The rise of far-right ideologies and authoritarian leaders can further exacerbate this decline by eroding democratic norms and undermining social cohesion. In many Western countries, we are seeing a resurgence of nationalist and populist movements that scapegoat minorities and sow division among communities. This can lead to a breakdown of trust in democratic institutions and a weakening of the rule of law. Furthermore, the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few can exacerbate social and economic inequalities, leading to widespread instability and unrest. This, coupled with a lack of meaningful action on climate change and other global challenges, can further contribute to the decline of Western influence in the world. To reverse this trend, it is crucial for leaders to prioritize inclusivity, equality, and sustainability in their policies and governance. Only by working together to address the root causes of social and political unrest can we hope to build a more just and stable future for all.

Their ideas, if they come to power, include: releasing 20% of prisoners to relieve overcrowding in prisons, disarming the police, uncontrolled immigration, making it impossible for landlords to evict tenants who don't pay, even higher taxes for those who work and of course more money for those who don't, and many other things that would bring France to its knees. What we, the so-called extreme right, want is just to live in peace, safety and decency in our beautiful country, which has been stared at for some years now.

@@st-mp2in define far-left, then show me where you can find a single mainstream far-left party @dnw009 far right is defined by an extreme nationalistic, often religious grounds, going beyond patriotism by being based in xenophobia and racism. Their system does not advocate for workers rights but rather order, security and protection usually with strong militaristic claims and a grounding in mythology. This comes from multiple dictionaries, as well as the collective works known as political theory - this information is very easily sourced and well recognised. You can find this in their xenophobic treatment of all foreigners, settled, arriving, second generation, which is usually based on their skin colour (given their own rhetoric against these people and that their own candidate for president is a second generation Italian immigrant). This practice doesn't consider and actively harms relationships with surrounding European and African countries. Le Pen herself has pushed away from constitutional protections against restraints on power and has called for the rights of the people of France to be rewritten to "protect" the nation. Their manifesto pushes stronger militarism but not for further protection of Europe - seeking to remove involvement in Ukraine - but to bolster France. Her positions source from her father who was an actual fascist and was a founding member of a party of fascists, which today is national front. The group opposes worker rights movements and uses dog-whistles. Now if you could define far left and stop dodging the point to defend your favourite racists.

Europe's swing to the left over the past 25 years has been a disaster, so the lefts response is to swing even further to the left, the past 5 years have been a nightmare. People are sick and tired of being sick and tired. In politics extremes breed extremes but I'm confident that a new Hitler is not hiding amongst National Rally. If anything Marine Le Pen's party has had to shift to center right to pick up 12M votes, its Macron supporters that are now far left globalist and open boarder extremists, they just dont know it. Perhaps if they look at their passports and its a dual national passport they might understand why the French people want their country ran by the French for the French.

I do not at all like that centrist representative who sees no problem being a dual citizen AND a lawmaker in France. She’s honest about her dual loyalties and is worried about RN making people choose between loyalty to France or abroad? Ridiculous. If I am a Frenchman, I want to know that my representative is loyal to me and France, not France and Morocco or Algeria or Russia or the UK or China or Israel or Iran or America. Just France. Why is that unreasonable?

[@MaliciousChickenAgenda]

It isn’t. The media have control of much of the narrative. When I take a political compass test I come up as centre left libertarian and I agree with you. It’s not far right to want properly controlled immigration and a policy that states clearly you have to come to Britain or in your case France legally. Having open borders is a ludicrous policy. It doesn’t work!

[@celtspeaksgoth7251]

We are not shocked as we are a nation of pragmatists, not idealogues. As someone well travelled across Europe, I know full well how British politics influence Europe. For example, the AfD in Germany arose out of Brexit and the co-leader describes herself as inspired by Thatcher. Other countries took note of the Leave vote too. The effects are still rippling across the Continent.
