The Leftwing Coalition of Communists, Socialists, and Islamists Wins the Most Seats in the French Parliament, with the National Rally Coming In Third
I very erroneously told you that France's runoff system works like other runoff systems -- top two vote-getters proceed to the second round.
That's not how it works. The first round only eliminates the worst-performing candidates. Anyone who gets 12.5% of the vote advances to the next round. This means that in many precincts, there might be three or even four candidates in the runoff. That looked good for National Rally, who has a plurality of support but not majority support in many jurisdictions. The split vote of anti-NR forces would work to NR's advantage. However, before the vote, the France's leftwing and Macron's allegedly "centrist" party began making deals, arranging for candidates to withdraw from the race. In one jurisdiction, the leftwing coalition called "New Popular Front" would drop out, thus leaving the candidate from Macron's party, Ensemble!, as the only opponent to the NR candidate. In other jurisdictions, the Ensemble! candidate would drop out, leaving the National Popular Front candidate alone to face National Rally. The net result is that while National Rally gained a lot of seats, they didn't gain anything close to a majority. In fact, they came out the third-biggest party, after the communist/socialist alliance of New Popular Front and the "centrist" Ensemble! And now the alleged "technocrat moderate centrist" Macron is forming a coalition with the leftwing extremists he pretended to oppose.Just great news for the French.
On Sunday night, joy: French voters had, once again, kept the far right out of power. On Monday morning, uncertainty: A hung parliament, shaky alliances and the threat of turbulent years ahead. President Emmanuel Macron called France's snap parliamentary election to "clarify" the political situation. But after the shock second-round results, the waters are more muddied than they have been in decades. While a surge in support for the left-wing New Popular Front (NFP) coalition foiled Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally (RN) party, French politics is now more disordered than it was before the vote.Note that Le Pen's party won a plurality of the vote -- more votes than any other party. However, thanks to deal-making and tactical voting, her party won only the third-most seats.
Last week, the far-left lost the 1st round of the French election so they rioted.

Speaking of France, Joe Biden brought up that country this morning on his call to 'Morning Joe'
"I'm not letting up, Joe. I'm not letting up a little bit, and by the way, you know, you know, France registered, you know, look, you talk about Europe..."
He has a very strong grasp and command of what is going on there.

Worst possible result for Macron, never mind the French. If he betrays the PF parties, they will never work with him again. If he accepts them, his centrist programs are shot.
Melenchon HATES Israel, so maybe he won't shift to RN. But if his large party is shut out of government, maybe he will. And maybe LePen will decide that her pro-Israel policy was a mistake that didn't really pay off.
Brutal times ahead.

I haven't heard that Macron is allying himself with the left; rather, France may go for some time without any Prime Minister at all and no functional Parliament either, leaving Macron to run things all by himself like some modern day Charles II. (who went without a Parliament for 12 years, iirc)

So, nearly 60% voted for the "right-leaning" parties, but the left-leaning party gains complete control because the center-right would rather see the far left with total control than to work with their far right.
The only conclusion must be that the far right are literal Nazis who want to exterminate Jews.
I'm sure that the far left doesn't share such a goal, otherwise the center-right wouldn't have aligned with them.

In the long run, this only benefits the right. France is going to continue to collapse at a faster and faster rate, and having been shut out of power in such a public way, they will be free of any blame for it.
This is also why Labour's victory in the UK is so hollow. The UK is on the verge of a financial crisis, and everything Labour has pledged to do will make it dramatically worse.

this was a question at the end of the last thread which I think has a very interesting answer:
"394 What happened to all the anti Israel riots? They just seem to have come to a screeching halt.
----"
Big nasty protests always make the administration in power look feckless and weak, and these protests were starting to really hurt the Biden Admin's credibility with the general public. Accordingly, orders have gone out to the financiers of all of these (almost all of them were rent-a-mobs) to shut them down. Doesn't help the Cause.

Mrs. Wrecks watched 60 Minutes the other day and saw a segment was about some hot Russian chick who has been prosecuted and exiled for opposing the Ukraine war. She said in Russia they have fake news and fake elections. Boy, am I glad nothing like that could happen here!

Go to Italy. It’s nicer than France (and don’t forget, my mom immigrated from France, I still have relatives there). Nice is okay, but it’s nothing like Tuscany.
England is cool to see, not necessarily London, but the Cotswolds are very pretty. It’s still not Italy.

So the French are voting for the strongest impulse to surrender to the invaders?
Also, is Dark Brandon a reference to sundowning? Because that sounds like hate speech.

Compare 2022 vs 2024. NR got something like 70% more seats in just 2 years. That’s a pretty big deal.

Paris — Chaotic scenes in the city center as masked leftist rioters and Antifa are running through the streets to celebrate the socialist and communist coalition electoral win. An explosive device goes off at the Place de la République.

57 Labour won a massive landslide in the Uk with only 34% of the vote.
When everyone talks about how bad the two party system is and how we need 3rd parties, well this is the alternative.
Posted by: Biden is Finished at July 08, 2024 01:32 PM (3cb+Z)
add in how many disgusted conservatives just sat the election out (lowest turnout in years), best estimate is that Labour won a "landslide" while only getting the backing of about 20% of the voters.
It's been said, rightly, that Labour didn't win the election - everyone else lost.

That's still a very nice showing and pickup by NR.
Mark Steyn has a nicely depressing article this morning noting that the "far-right" has done well in a number of countries, but not well enough, and the ongoing demographic changes in the West means that the "far-right" has probably peaked.
The BBC:
"I'm so relieved," grinned university student Sarah Bennani, 19, moments after the results were broadcast.
"When I go home tonight, I won't be afraid that someone grabs my hijab," she continued, accusing the far-right National Rally – which could only manage third place in these elections - of fuelling racism, and racist attacks across France.
The future of France.
Weird that it's Jews being murdered for their religion in France and not Muslims.

Macron's man, Attal, announced he was resigning as prime minister after the results were in. The he unpromised to resign, so at the moment, Macron's man is still the titular prime minister.
Until he faces a vote of confidence. I can't imagine that the NFP, has more seats than Ensemble, is going to sit still for a Macron man as PM. The NFP is a cobbled up entity consisting of Socialists, Antifa (France Unbowed), Communists, and other assorted organized lunatics.
Before the second round balloting, Attal stated that he would NOT head a coalition government that included the Communist Party (and I'd assume France Unbowed). We'll see.
2/3 of the French electorate did not vote for the Left. France is now a hard right country.

The Tories have not been 'conservative' since Maggie left office. Before that, it would have been Stanley Baldwin and Chamberlain.
Ironically, it was the more conservative Tories like Rees Mogg, etc. that lost their seats while the wets (derivation from bed wetters) like Sunak won.
If the more conservative MPs that lost move to Reform for the inevitable by elections--the Tories might just become like the Progressive Conservative party in Canada in another election cycle.
I think what we are seeing across Europe and the US is the disintegration of the old global uniparty approach where mistakes of state are hidden, the scope of policy limited, and the WEF agenda of the donor class was promoted.

Shit. My office mate's daughter is in France as we speak. on a camping tour.
I do not want to tell her. She freaks out easily enough as it is. And what is she gonna do, hop a plane to Paris to rescue her daughter?
She is pretty internet savvy, so I'll leave it to her.

This Porsche executive was convicted for (take the time to read this slowly) throwing her newborn daughter out of her window to save her career
. . . .
The accused was not prepared to put her life plans, especially her professional advancement, on hold for a child.

It is a drama that affects me personally. My client did not even know she was pregnant. When she suddenly held the baby in her hands, she was in an exceptional psychological situation. It was an accident, she dropped the baby. How the child ended up over the windowsill remains to be determined.

Maybe in concept? In practice, their population will be flooded with more immigrants with no ties to the nation's principles or heritage, their economy with crash, the overton window will shift to the point the current moderate positions will look extreme, and the people in general will become dependent on government.
Imagine California. Take all of it's issues. Now make them twice as bad. And the Republicans somehow (?) get elected to the governorship and the state Congress. Where do you even start?

I don't understand this. Abortion is easily available in Germany, even though it might be technically illegal in certain situations. This woman didn't get an abortion but threw the baby out a window? I think this women is just insane. Searching for a rational motive in such people is a fool's errand.

IIRC, most European countries limit abortion to… 16 weeks (? Somewhere around there, no I can’t be arsed to go look it up).

Don't make the same mistake that blacks do. Urban areas with masses of people do not reflect a country's demographics very accurately. Most of the recent illegals end up in cities because that is where the bennies are and their country buddies are.
UK has about 6 percent Islam but it is clustered in cities and due to low turnout local elections--like the US, a cohesive small political block can win power. Not the same nationally.
The big cities in the US often trend toward majority black over time even to overwhelming percentages in places like Memphis and St. Louis. But blacks are actually a stagnant or even shrinking part of the overall US electorate at about 12-13 percent or so of the population. But probably about 50-60 percent of that is in urban cities and inner suburbs. Hispanics are more broadly distributed.

Look, the Western democracies were still staffed by people who wanted to enter government, and those people bitterly despise freedom for anyone but themselves. Only slightly more than they despise one another, but still.
They were always going to eventually corrode and break away the safeguards of republics and turn them into tyrannies.
What happened in France is typical of our phony republics - their structures always guard against any kind of reform.
You can never use the structure of a sham republic against itself.
They have to be destroyed. Not simply commandeered.

Michel Houellebecq predicted this 8 years ago in his novel, "Submission," including that the French centrists would rather have an Islamic government than allow the "far right" to win. France will probably have Shiria law very soon, also a Houellebecq prediction. The protagonist of "Submission", a milquetoasty academic, finally decided to "submit" and become a Muslim after he was promised multiple wives. Thus, wokeness and promiscuity will complete the suicide of the West.

The NYT just printed a story about the Parkinson's specialist visiting the WH 8 times since December. The AJC and Chicago Tribune have also called for Joe to leave the race. I don't know how they think they can walk that back.
I think it's going to be a disjointed mess. Tester in Montana is in a very tough race to save his seat and he's saying Joe still needs to prove to the American people and to him that he can handle the job.
If Joe stays in donations will be down and down ballot races could really get hammered.

They won't like it because how cheap drones are becoming. Drones are accounting for a large percentage now of the casualties in the Ukraine Russia conflict. Bad times like the last 30-40 years of the Russian Empire under the Romanovs led to widespread assassinations as a tactic by nihilists and they were directed at the ruling class.
We just might see something like that happen in the West and low priced drones can make that quite possible even better than the cheap handguns and bombs used by the nihilists.

We’ve just had 3.5 years of one “president by committee”. No way Kamala objects to being the 2nd…?

It doesn’t seem to be a problem that money couldn’t overcome? Dangle the presidency in front of Kamala, bribe the rest of the cabinet. The low level reps would fall in line…
I just don’t see how Joe can say, “nuh uh, I don’t wanna” and everyone says “alas, we’ve been foiled!”
Posted by: DoublySymmetric
And let’s say it doesn’t. Kamala has to start the process. It fails. Where is she now? All the crazies on DU hate her, but her boss hates her even more. She is branded a traitor opportunist, every negative, and there is plenty, will be amplified. If I was a Republican I would toe no just for this chaos.

He'd still be the nominee, though.
Honestly, the only way to get rid of him as the nominee is to kill him.
I hope he lives a long time.

"New Popular Front"
I marvel at how enchanted leftists are by the word "new." They prepend it to every policy and political group, apparently in a tacit admission that the previous incarnation was a dismal failure, but this NEW one will work this time.

I mentioned this in another thread -- any chance of a military coup in France? If the Armee recruited from largely rural areas one would think they would likely find more willingness to overthrow the government. Or are we not at critical mass yet (NPI given the Force de Frappe).

The former Eastern Bloc is now the Western Bloc.
And the former Eastern Bloc is on the whole pro America and the Western Bloc is very much anti- American.
I saw an infographic that eastern europeans mostly live in detached houses, western europeans live in apartments or "semi-detached" houses.
I suspect that line shows a lot of the problems we see...urbanization literally drives people crazy.

Nah, the Hispanics are taking over.
Chicago used to be 39% black. Now, 29%, and there are more Hispanics than blacks in Chicago.

There isn't unity, though. Primaries have a very good function of getting different factions to settle for the compromise choice.
Eschewing the primary was a mistake, but it's common for incumbents. Biden, though...probably needed a healthy primary.

Former President Donald Trump is expected to announce his running mate in the next week or so ahead of the Republican National Convention.
The campaign has largely dismissed early reporting and speculation on who Trump will tap as his vice president. The primary candidates for the VP slot are Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Marco Rubio (R-FL), and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND), according to the Washington Post.

* Our primary goal is to defeat the orange Nazi. Internecine squabbling hinders achieving that goal. Stop attacking other Democrats.
We're not an "echo chamber" either. The pundits called for Obama to drop out after a debate. They called for Hillary to drop out, claiming she was dying. They’re calling for Biden to drop out. The beltway pundits are the echo chamber.
There is nothing wrong with President Biden other than being old in a youth-obsessed society. He is still of sound mind and good health. There is nothing here that alarms me aside from the madness that’s erupted after a poor debate performance.
presidential elections are a binary choice. Joe Biden is still the best candidate by far to win in this election. He's been organized since last year, and he has the war chest to take him into the general election. This is nothing but anti-Biden propaganda.

It doesn’t matter at this point. You have to pick either Newsom or Kamala you can’t have both. That is, notwithstanding he’s an oily character who destroyed California. Whitmer is a terrible candidate and polls with toe fungus. There were a few other governors mentioned but none have great name recognition or good records to run on. They don’t even have a deep bench for the next election. Democrats went all out on forcing their agenda down the throats of Americans, and it’s destroying things in a spectacular, insidious way. Now their go to move is to say democracy is at stake, meaning taking them out of power will swing us back towards liberty and the forces of balance that have kept this nation running since the founding of our democratic republic. There isn’t a single good thing to say about anything they’ve done- and that’s their real problem. What they have done is destructive on every single front. That is their real problem.

I mentioned this in another thread -- any chance of a military coup in France? If the Armee recruited from largely rural areas one would think they would likely find more willingness to overthrow the government. Or are we not at critical mass yet (NPI given the Force de Frappe).

I'd say zero chance. When was the last military coup in France? Napoleon III? And even that doesn't really count.

Short answer: Yes.
National Rally Leader Jordan Bardella, before the election, stated that NR will not participate in a coalition government without NR being in the majority. Macron's Attala said that Ensemble will not form a coalition government with the NFP if it includes the Communists. So under the current conditions, no one will form a coalition with the NFP.
The new Parliament meets on July 18, and Macron is term-lmited and leaves the presidency by May, 2027. The earliest a new parliamentary election can take place is June, 2025. So, one year of fun and games and carbecues.

222 The big cities in the US often trend toward majority black over time even to overwhelming percentages in places like Memphis and St. Louis.
Nah, the Hispanics are taking over.
Chicago used to be 39% black. Now, 29%, and there are more Hispanics than blacks in Chicago.
Posted by: The ARC of History!
===========
Chicago is an interesting phenomenon but hardly universal (btw, you have to disentangle Chicago city proper from the metro Cook county--the city itself is still about 30 percent black fwiw) which is slightly lower than the 32.3 percent of whites still in the city. About 28.7 percent is Hispanic.
It had a long history for whatever reason as being hispanic friendly and Chicanos used to be the more popular political term for them there.
The blacks and hispanics in some cases have moved to the inner city suburbs which makes the overall distribution lumpy--blacks in inner city suburbs are concentrated on the south side and east, hispanics and whites toward the west and north.
Statistical atlas dot com is your friend on such matters.

Harder to do than you would think. I grew up and spent time in the political system in a state with a long history of walking around money to buy votes. Aka Clinton's Arkansas. Now unfortunately living in an area close to another place rife with election fraud.

235 Biden is their last best hope. There is no way a candidate can mount a successful campaign in three months. The people with the best name recognition poll lower than VD. They are stuck.
I disagree. The Democrats just want the Democrats to win and retain power. They will happily vote for whatever is put in front of them.

Counter to popular belief, the rules of the Democratic Party do NOT require that pledged delegates vote for Biden at the convention. Party rules require delegates’ votes, “reflect the sentiments of those who elected them,” at the time the delegates cast their ballots. (2/3)

The other funny thing about republics is that they are the seed of their own destruction. They're the best, most effective form of government, because they are forced to permit people to pursue their own interests.
But, for decent human beings who aren't retarded or psychopathic, government jobs aren't appealing. So these good governments eventually become wracked by retarded psychos who run out the least retarded and psychopathic, year after year, until they become so corrupted that they're unusable.

There was a failed military coup in the early 1960s over the Algerian situation. I think it was after DeGalle was elected on a promise to withdraw.

At every stage of the game they had the opportunity to turn aside but they just couldn't not sting the frog.

Hispanics due to politics at the Census Bureau is a piss poor descriptor simply because many of the 2nd or 3rd generation from Latin America are more or less 'white' in fact as well as the Census bureau description. If there was no DIE gains to be had, I would guess a substantial portion of White Hispanics would suddenly identify as White only.
Many of the illegals, if you had truth in ethnic descriptors have more Native American aka Indian blood than Creole Spanish blood. So you get weird bimodal distributions. Then you have national differences along with ethnic issues even inside those nations.
Basically it resembles NYC's byzantine immigrant politics of the heyday of mass immigration.

I faced that dilemma with former Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-MO). Remember him? Strong family connection. Did a LOT for his district.
I finally voted against him & contributed to the Republican who defeated him (Hartzler).
I had the same regrets about it as putting an old pet dog to sleep.

Wasn't there a King of the Hill episode where Henry Winkler wouldn't let Peggy's parents drive their cattle through his newly-purchased land? And this was maybe 20 years ago.

When all else failed against the local police, that was Charlottesville.
It was also part of 'BLM' mostly peaceful - but unlicensed - protests around Philly.

Actually, many of those inner city types that have a brain are and have been more astute about analyzing politics than the rubes in the sticks. To them, it is more about getting paid than the various speechifying about principles. If you have ever talked to many of them, they are just as cynical about their pols as any conservative is about the GOP. The reason they vote or sell their vote is that their loyalty is to themselves and politics is purely transactional to them. Democrats will pay--GOP won't so they vote DEM. They stay at home if the Dems don't pay.
I have seen on the GOP side, many 'conservatives' blather on about muh principles while ignoring the ass raping given to the public by rancid GOPe types in office that are personally and politically corrupt. Then it is justified such as shitbird McConnell's muh judges or other such bullshit.
The difference is that street level type Dems vote their interests which are more directly in line with getting paid. A lot of GOP street level type voters have their own self interests affecting their vote including being paid.

Macron's 'centrist' allies are no different than establishment republicans here. No different.
As your 'favorite' Sundance over at the Last Refuge says:
"There are trillions at stake." and the political cartels are no different than their partners selling coke.

Any thing with coalitions of lots of parties, multiple elections or proportional representation is a recipe for Deep State taking over the elections.

City Dems mostly don't vote at all. They have the machine do it for them. Look at how few votes AOC had to get to unseat the 2nd or 3rd most powerful Dem Congressman.

Congressman Brad Sherman
@BradSherman
Counter to popular belief, the rules of the Democratic Party do NOT require that pledged delegates vote for Biden at the convention. Party rules require delegates’ votes, “reflect the sentiments of those who elected them,” at the time the delegates cast their ballots. (2/3)

I think that is a toxic cocktail of bullshit and hopeium. The rules do require the delegates to vote for Biden, unless he expressly releases them. That's the very basis of the rules and why the Dems are in such a bind. Could I be wrong about this? Yes. But I don't think I am.

Certainly wasn't true when the Supers betrayed Hillary and went for Obama and she fell behind him in vote count. There was no mention of trying to turn delegates on the floor, and their would have been at least an attempt.

Wow. It sure sounds a lot like how things work in the Republican Party of the United States.
Conservative candidates - Tea Party or MAGA - win state primaries but Republican Party "Leadership" figures with last names beginning in Mc (McConnell, McCarthy, McCain) do everything they can to undermine those candidates, ensuring their defeat in the general election, so the Uni-Party can stay entrenched.
Seems like France has some similar puppet masters running behind the scenes. Globalists are calculating, manipulative, evil scum!
