Journalists, especially audio and video journalists, should be taught IPA, the international pronunciation alphabet, as part of their skillset.

Can you do a video on NUPES? It’s hard to see what’s going on in French politics for an outsider due to the lack of credible polling

[@dorianodet8064]

To sum it up for you : The NUPES is basically blowing up big time due to multiple scandale, stark internal division and lack of proper leadership. The center coalition is forced to the right to find the vote it lack, and it vastly displease the more left leaning centrist, resulting in "rule by technicality" and lots of internal grumbling. The traditionnal right have humiliated themselves multiple time by trying to "be an opposition party" instead of just officially form a coalition with the ruling party, meaning they're saying and doing opposites things, and ultimately it'll likely be the final nail in the coffin. The far right is playing its card perfectly though. I thought they would make fool of themselves since they lack quality representative in most region, but so far, they've walked the line exactly as they should : They negociate when they can, and always vote as a block in the direction that fit the ideology of their party, and therefor their electorate. I still think they'd have no clue as the governing party but so far they're pretty solid at their current level (and I can't stress it enough, I genuinely thought they woul humiliate themselves big time like the traditionnal right)

There is no NUPES anymore. They vote separately in Palrliament, and go separate to the elections. Detail: Melenchon was an electoral heavyweight, he united the remnants of the left in 2022.

For the European elections, all 4 parties are running not allied with the other. The first three are polling around 9% each for the European elections, while PCF is at 2.5, way below the 5% threshold for European elections in France.

The Duke of Normandy occupied Britain for more than two hundred years. I do not know if she was originally English. From the shape of her eyes, it seems that her origins are from East Asia, but she tries to pronounce the word R in a French way. Moreover, in France we have a province called Brittany. They are the basis of the English Celtic people. As for The rest is a mixture of Roman remnants and Saxon and Anglo from northern Germany and Denmark

Yeah i cringed a bit at "the emerging trend of falling trust in the EU governments has created a Europe wide surge in support for the far-right". Don't call people far-right just because they don't trust the EU governments, that kinda makes you sound like mouth piece for people who do trust EU governments.

[@hidderaven7890]

People aren't far right just because they don't trust the EU, most anti-EU parties however ARE far right. Fidez, PiS, PVV, RN are all far right.

[@Minimoimaximus]

It's not what they say though. They are saying that distrusting the EU governments can push you in the arms of the far-right, like Le Pen's party which the video is about, since they are famously anti-establishment in their discourses. And that it is part of why there is a surge in support for it, because for more and more people the far-right aspect of these parties becomes secondary to the perceived anti-establishment attitude of those. I can bet that yourself, or at least a part of the people reacting favorably to your comment, are viewing the situation exactly like that, so they're not wrong. In other words, if you're shocked by someone calling you far-right because you support Le Pen, you don't get a pass off because you're "anti-establishment", you ARE supporting a far right party. At best you need to reevaluate your perception, at worse you're doing Le Pen's work of legitimisation and rebranding for her by trying to get her party out of the far-right branding. If you don't understand why it's a far right party, then you may have missed a lot of things about her party even recently. Or you may have a hard time accept that what you view more and more as "good policies" or "acceptable attitude from representing people" are still far-right policies and attitudes. The popularity of said policies doesn't change their political color.

​@@89ji76 "The Collective West" is a myth commonly propagated by the Kremlin and coined by the Russian FSB. It does not exist. But true, there is no *sizable* left fringe to speak of. But it's commonly touted by the right fringe. There is just as little of a left-fringe in Europe and North America as there is in Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East. Almost the entire world is dominated by nationalistic big government conservatives, free-market capitalist neocons, or free-market capitalist neoliberals. Neoliberalism is a right-leaning political stance but the most centrist of the three. I would almost have to ask you to name an example that breaks this rule. And one that breaks this rule not only in principle, but also in practise. For example, officially China is communist. But in reality, China is nationalistic, conservative, big government, and capitalist.

Moreover, she was confronted about why she sent her kids to private school (which aren't under direct jurisdiction of the *public* Education secretary), but was still ironically nominated at the office.

[@josepedrosantiagosilva9625]

In Europe, there's a growing sense of neglect towards the younger generation. They face lower salaries, longer work hours, and increased responsibilities while witnessing a surge in billionaires, particularly in countries like Germany. The housing market adds to their woes, as property prices soar, making it difficult to afford homes, let alone start families. To compensate, cheap labor from abroad is often favored, leading to frustration among the youth, who feel betrayed. People aren't inherently racist, but this frustration arises when governments prioritize external labor over addressing domestic issues. It's high time politicians acknowledge and tackle these pressing concerns rather than resorting to distractions. The younger generation deserves meaningful change.
