France's snap election campaign: an interview with IPSOS Director of polling, Mathieu Doiret

[@TheHeninhardenne]

Why don't you call muslim countries far right for not accepting non-muslims as citizens or refugees?

[@uroboros4260]

because parties are not countries, nazzilover

[@pebblepod30]

​@uroboros4260 Then such media would call the country or Muslim believing in that policy far right, but they don't. Or at least point it out, but they don't. The media's self-given job is often to manipulate, not to inform.

​@@johnnybrave7443 the only people here showing they don't understand fascism without saying they don't understand fascism, are those who refuse to acknowledge that RN's political project is s far-right project. I strongly advise you to read the Ur-Fascism by Umberto Eco, and after that, read the RN program again (if you have ever read it at all...).

"Far right and ... left wing" LFI is not "left wing" so please do your job and call what they are: FAR LEFT, Thank you.

[@mmarques2736]

Everyone calls LFI far-left. People don't call the Front Populaire far-left because they are a coalition in which the vast majority is center-left. Is it clear now?

[@v.j.3029]

It’s propaganda, every media does this. They want to scare voters into associating the right with Hitler and concentration camps. And they don’t say FAR left so we think they’re moderate and don’t associate them with communism. The gaslighting isn’t working anymore.

[@fredericpayan6708]

in fact anti-semitic totalitarist far left

[@franciscouderq1100]

It is not what the French conseil constitutionnel calls the French left party yet labeled LePen party as far right. Extreme right would then be Reconquête d’Eric Zemmour. Extreme left would be communist party and beyond

[@thastayapongsak4422]

LFI is not far left. There are way more left leaning parties in France that do get votes.

This is untrue. Immigrants have cost taxpayers so much more in terms of criminality, welfare, housing, etc.

In a true democracy, peoples votes are respected and not pushed or smeared as far right or far left. I hope in the near future, change happens.

They could win if they did what the Danish Left did, by having a more realistic and Nation first approach to immigration. Probably Voters won't vote for being a Doormat, esp to a religion which does appear to be incompatible with the society, if in large numbers. That's probably why Muslim countries don't do it either. And it s no fault of indivdual Muslim immigrants, things that happen on a small scale are not necessarily the same as large scale, esp when power is involved.

[@latchmere100]

No

@@pebblepod30 The danish social democrats lost big in the eu elections. So it could backfire

[@pebblepod30]

@readisgooddewaterkant7890 I mean they won at home. Because they chose to be more realistic and less of a door mat with immigration issues early. It doesn't work if left too late.

[@rinkadink66]

are most voters, are just voting against Macron..rather than for Le Pen..?

[@jbmaillet]

From Paris here. Actually, both. Macron has been successful in crystalizing a huge detestation against him from all sides. So much so that even his own camp (ministers, ex deputies etc) are now rejecting him, kind of "please shut up now and don't help us, we'll take care of you latter".

[@295Phoenix]

Le Pen has actually become popular in her own right. Polling shows that a plurality of Communists and France Unbowed voters would chose her over a centrist candidate in a two-way race in 2027. It's just that Macaroni is extremely hated as well due to his arrogance and failed policies.
