That was funny, but as a Frenchman I don't hold too much hope. Our far right, supporting both Trump and Putin, has been gaining steam with each passing election for the past 20 years.
Hopefully the circus currently taking place across the pond is enough to deter some from voting for them, come 2027?
The far-right is a symptom of what is happening in France. Fix the problems and the far right will disappear.
Unfortunately, that would mean that the politicians from the last 20 years need to do a mea culpa on quite a few things and that will never happen so the far right will eventually get in power.
That's been the Democratic Party's strategy for decades: Don't confront them and the Republican candidate, Trump in particular, will 'shoot themselves in the foot'.How is that working? On their part, it's just cowardice and laziness.
There is no way you will win, no way they will stop, unless you fight (politically and socially) and defeat them.
This very much. Defeat them and then actually address the growing inequalities and social issues, to curb discontent. Otherwise it's back to square one in the next election.
I don't trust our neoliberal politicans (Dems or Macron here in France, whatever his party is called today) to do the right thing. If they get reelected it will be more mostly pro-buisness politics with a dash of mildly progressive policies, when it's convenient.
