It feels like Macron said "you guys wont let me govern this country without complaining? Fine, you're all grounded! No government for anyone for 3 years!"
I think if the left wing alliance pick a centrist as their pm candidate they might get some of the centrists to support a minority government but france has had like multiple revolutions so who knows
These are beautiful democracies ! In France ; you can have 37% of the votes and get only 24% of the seats : In the UK; you can have 33% of the votes and get 67% of the seats...
Relative to the population, Switzerland has more different cheeses than France. And government works. France has a long history of people opposed to the central power - kings, self proclaimed emperors and not overly efficient democratic central governments.
And now finally it’s going to become a caliphate. Just like Britain and soon Germany. The braindead voters should be adjusting their little empty heads to wearing a niqab.
EU MADE SIMPLE -- THANK YOU! Thank you for the elegantly simple explanation and intuitive graphics. As a US resident, the way these parliamentary elections work has always befuddled me. Thank you for doing such a well-thought-out presentation to clarify the French election results. Merci !
Honestly, Macron did this so that the far-right would not win, and I think he knew that he had little chances of winning too. So, really, despite the absolute madness that's about to unfold, Macron still won because he got what he wanted. Or, quoting a terrible movie, "I don't care if I win, I just want Le Pen to lose".
His party's results are way higher than the part of the population it represents. His gamble paid off because he saved his party from becoming irrelevant for now even though it would deserve to become so
I'm french and both this video and the one you made before about french elections were extremely accurate, rare to see on the english side of the internet, so keep up the good work

Isn't that how voting usually works? It's not like politics is religion (hopefully), where you see the person you vote for as some kind of absolute greatness you can't criticize.
Loving the way you structure your videos! You broke down a complex topic in a refreshingly simple way. On top of that, you did it in a non-partisan manner. Well done!
It always confuses me how we have newspapers reporting over months how far right everything has become and we will have a far right ensemble and then all of a sudden everyone has a sleep about it and voted for the exact opposite? WTF
Remember how in the US 2016 election the media had Clinton winning and then Trump took it? The mainstream media is deeply out of touch with current society.
Hello, French here. Nice video, very well explained. I don't predict the future, but for me, the government will be blocked and Macron will probably dissolve the Assembly next year. The 5th Republic is not meant to have 3 blocs in the Assembly.
@@freedom4639 the show goes on for a few years now lol. After decades between right or left in power, french were exhausted with having no significant change in their lives so Macron created the center and people chose him because they were tired of the others. Now people are tired of the center and they try to come back to left and right.
@@RonJeremy514 What do you mean by "you sabotaged"? You mean me? What's your question? People think differently so they vote differently, are you asking for a dictatorship? If you have one guy to blame it's Macron, he didn't have to dissolve the Assembly but he did it anyway. So we'll lose at least 1 year or 3.
@@DarrenMossmannot very good, there’s electrical outages every few hours. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what a shit hole South Africa is. White people build there infrastructure and everything during the colonial times, teaching them how to operate and maintain it also. Then as soon as the colonizers leave everything falls apart again. Afrika in general is such a massive money pit its insane, the amounts of trillions of cash moneys we sent them that were either pocketed by corrupt officials or was just wasted on useless projects.
quite bad, Zimbabwe and SA kinda confirm that Africans have no idea what they doing. They need the whites to fix their shit. They tried to rely on the Chinese and soon finding out that it wasn't a good idea. They should have gone the UAE/Saudi route where they allowed Indians to fix their shit if they really don't want the whites. (The Gulf guys import everything and have no idea how to build or maintain infrastructure by themselves, the oil money helps). Hopefully things get better for the Africans as relying on themselves is hopeless. It takes a couple generations of skilled labour to carry on knowledge to build and maintain a nation. This is not a race thing, it's a basic civilization thing. It is only now that the gulf is starting to have people of their own get into the field as they have had enough time and support from other nations. They had to rely on Europeans for financial markets and institutions, Indians for building and maintaining infrastructure and a wide variety of other Asian/African immigrants to fill out low skill jobs. They had plenty money so they could do it in a few decades, Africa doesn't have that luxury, it's gonna take a generation or two. The south Americans are finally getting their shit together and they have close ties and help with USA and revenue from tourism to facilitate it, not to forget the recent good leadership in place in select countries. WE WUZ KANGS attitude isn't gonna get you to wakanda status. Unity, collaboration and lots of help will. Getting rid of extremist religious groups, corruption and warlords would be a great start.
As a French speaker myself from Switzerland who follows closely French politics, people are only seeing part of the picture in this parliamentary election. Let me explain in 5 points : 1. The NFP is a coalition of parties not a single one. The biggest party of this coalition is the Far-Left party France Unbound which counts for around 15% of all French voters. The Socialist Party comes second with around 10%. In the opposite, the seats that the National Rally won are almost exclusively for their party making them almost double their number of seat in parliament from before. 2. The NFP is a very heterogeneous coalition with parties that are always infighting on almost every issue. Like NUPES before, they are really likely to collapse and not endure after the new appointment of Parliament. On issues like Palestine, the EU, Ukraine, economic reforms etc. France Unbound and the Socialist Party for example are complete opposites. Making the collation very likely to collapse in the near future in Parliament. 3. This election fragmented Ensemble and the Republicans. Even if they won more seats than expected, the latter is shifting more and more towards the National Rally because of the left-leaning alliance of Ensemble. There were even splits in the party before the elections. For Ensemble it’s the same, the right-leaning members of Macron’s party are very skeptical of this alliance and are very likely to block initiatives from the left and join a more rightist party for 2027. 4.Like mentioned before, if (or more likely, when) the NFP will collapse, the RN will have a relative majority in Parliament anyway due to the fact that it’s their own party who won the additional seats and not a coalition. 5. The fact that overall the French electorate is more to the right than to the left, like we saw in the first round, is gonna make the situation particularly tense if a left-leaning government is put in place in a deadlock parliament. This will radicalise the right and make it even more popular, due to this feeling of betrayal by the political system of France. And when in 2027 Macron will not be able to present himself again, the situation might become really dire and serious for the entire country due to the polarisation of the entire political spectrum.
You know what they say, the left always eats itself. As a french person, all I have to do is hold out for 3 more years for the RN to come clean up France.
Comment seen on another video some minutes ago! But it's a nice comment I'd only disagree with n3, and the fact LR will join RN. As the split between far right LR and moderate LR has already occur, I think LR Canal Historique will do as less alliance as possible with RN. Let's also state that RN is not rightwing, they are far right. They have close to no common ground with RN when it comes to economy or external affaires. Maybe what's more likely is that LR will join Ensemble for some laws, but even that won't be enough, as they have 165 + 65 < 289 seats. So anyway, it looks liké nothing will come out of the assembly for another year. No progress, but non drawbacks either... Can't know for sure of course.
I am still in disbelief that the French are moving to the right like the lemmings that follow Trump. I always count on France to show us the left was still alive, and her people to always insure it.
That's politics. It's a shame that it's become a chess game for power rather than just letting democracy choose. They are so caught up in winning and pushing their agenda that things are getting worse everywhere.
It is. Macron is a very skilled politician. That's one of the few things I'll give him credit for. France's left-leaning media are clueless to what he's done (they speak of him resigning🤭💀). Its marvelously hilarious that they have no idea. None at all.
what do you think we'll end up happening with Hungary? We already had a country that left the European Union, can we also kick out a country? Could you make a video about this, how does this works?
@@jeckjeck3119goes to show how brainwashed you are, it's such a great idea to get into a war between two countries who had a peace deal worked out and almost signed until some A hole Britt interfered, like, how can you say that is okay in any good faith?! not to mention France is in no economical position to go play superheroes somewhere in Eastern Europe
Hope for you the next presidency will not look like this. If so, can't wait to see your women's & LGBTQ rights removed once Palestinians take control or your pitiful country. How these new gens can be that blind is astonishing. Soon, you'll be living in a middle east country among Europe. Congratulations!
@Suksass the one that built society ? Your way literally destroys everything around it. You don't care about victims. You only care about smelling your own farts and acting like you aren't smelling shit.
This has to be a fake comment. You think a channel called “EU Made Simple” is apolitical? 😂 This channel is pro-EU, which means pro-globalism. Globalism and importing cheap labor = good. Nationalism and protecting borders = bad.
Canada has been forced to live through this shit for the last nine years. France and the UK are about to find out the painful way what we've had to live with.
Oh please, we'll grow to hate Pierre Poilevere's guts eventually. The conservatives can be just as sleazy, just look at Ontario under Ford. In 8+ years, the pendulum will swing again. Conservatives and Liberals are there only to maintain the status quo for corporate interests, nothing else.

This is what happens when you have multiple parties. The leftist parties just form coalitions and you'll never have a common sense government again. In canada it'll be liberals and the block this coming federal election. Quebec has gained 7 more seats during te 10 year redistricting
French here: The budget can't really be blocked: the 49.3 rule forces the budget to be approved when the parliament can't agree on it, and was at the beginning created exactly for this purpose. This 49.3 recourse exists to avoid any shutdown situation. In the past years, the 49.3 was used a lot for laws not directly related to the state's budget, which created a lot of tensions in the country. The presidential party used it to pass laws despite not having a majority in the parliament. That's the only complementary information I have to add as the video explains really well the situation in my opinion.

I can't understand why this is 'super unexpected'. National Rally got 34% of the votes in the first round, which also means that 66% did not vote for it. Given that, and the collaboration of Ensemble and the Left block, NR had no chance in the second round to achieve a majority.
Yeah it was obvious from the beginning, if all non RN candidates work together. Don't know why Media calls that a surprise and others fail to explains this, so that all the russians everywhere can call it a "fraud".
Lib dems were much more effective at targeting their advertising and campaigns to the specific seats where they were likely to win. Reform voters on the other hand… well, they’re not the brightest, and so didn’t vote tactically
@@bountifulauto8257 I do agree, but I think even more representative systems like ranked choice voting would have returned very poor results for reform. The reality is that, even if a large number of people strongly support you, if the *majority* of people strongly oppose you, then the most democratic result is that you do not win that seat.
damn and they laugh at us in america hahahaha. No keep your million party system over there europe I dont want a million votes a seat here that would suck
I don't know why you claim that this result was unexpected. It was contrary to the claimed projected seat totals reported by the media. None of these projections factored in the tactical voting that everyone knew was going to happen. The National Rally didn't broadcast that they weren't going to do as well as the projections because they wanted to build up enthusiasm for their party. The opposition didn't point out that the National Rally wouldn't do as well as was projected because they wanted to build up fear of a National Rally victory. Politics is about lying for advantage. The media is part of politics. RUclips is about getting views even if it requires saying stupid, obviously foolish things..
RUclips cheered for Le Pen then Macron won, and the cheering stopped. Then they started warning that "Paris will burn" and "France will fall." Every time Parisians would riot, it's "France will fall" and so on. Most seem to be Americans and Brits who lament the effects of mass immigration. But I think the Brits and Americans fail to see that the French are more insistent that all immigrants become French, so it's not really the same situation. Plus, is there a year when the French didn't riot against their government?
Because it's a centrist party so it does particularly well in a runoff. People vote it because they don't want to vote the other candidate. It won't get 50% but it can win in the runoff.
Tactical voting essentially The party you like didn't win? Instead of wasting your vote, you spend it on a party that youre meh with so that the party you actually despise doesn't get the dub
That's a beautiful example of western or left democracy , just let them vote and see what's happening . And if you can't beat your opponent in the first run , then get all parties together to beat him in the second .
@SussyBaka-zs3kj What is democratic if you make a second vote , cause you lost the first one ? That's something a dictator would do , gathering all parties together to beat one is not very democratic at all . The constitution allows that , but it's more a grey zone . And not very fair for all the voters of RN , that's a reason why so many people don't vote in Europe . 66% only , no matter what you vote for , they do what they want anyways . Why the hell the lefties rally , if they won ? 😅
Yes if you have a party most people absolutely don't want they'll vote for the coalition of people they don't hate as much. Shocking, the majority of people can pick who does or does not rule. They would have lost in proportional representation, and in ranked choice voting too. That's what happens when most people actively dislike your party.
Similar thing happened in India. All opposition parties ganged up and did not allow vote split to happen among them, with the sole aim of defeating Modi
Did MAcron gamble paid off? Ensamble lost seats while National Rally doubled theirs. Prior to this snap elections no party had majority but Ensamble was closest to it with 244 seats
Yes his gamble actually paid off sadly, he played dirty and didn't follow NFPs withdrawals as much as they could have, they did want this result of everything being blocked and macron isn't planning to even choose a new government
@@yolo0042 wait, what? how did you not expect them to do this well after the majority of other parties resigned to make macron stronger? i can not think of a more predetermined result (outside russia and NK)
YOU WERE SO CLOSE TO SAVING FRANCE. How could you let this happen? Le Pen was your only hope. Goodbye France. I hope your sense of self-righteousness was worth sacrificing a fundamental pillar of Europe.
Le Pen is a Far-right corupt politicien with ties to Putin and with fashit sympaties, they is a reason the FN/RN is even less historicly trusted than the other parties ...
Propertional representation doesn't work either or Spain and Italie wouldn't have had dozens of governments in the 2010's. Responsible leadership is the only things that works, and it is really temporary in any system.
Proportional representation is in the program of the left, and was also discussed by Ensemble - now seems to be the time, it won't change that the RN is a minority that got around 34% in first round - and might actually even decrease their chances to have an absolute majority, because this was only seen as a possibility with a third of the votes because of non-proportionality.
It's not a miracle solution but non-proportionality means a tiny minority can get a majority of the seats - this was a possibility with RN - no matter how divisive or unrepresentative they are - with no guarantee that it adds stability to the country. Macron's party previously having an underserved majority also added to the general dissatisfaction of the French people and fed the populist vote. Most succesful democracies include a proportional representation, France UK and the US are exceptions.
No election system prevents idiots getting voted into parlaments by idiots. You could study both ways recently. Just look at the Netherlands or the latest election results in Northern Ireland.
You people are so weird. French people that became muslim exist as well, but you'd rather get rid of them too bc you are too stupid to do research of your own. By now islam has been around so long in europe, that an attempt to remove it would mean cutting into yourself. Your hate should rather be directed towards the european politicians and corporations that destroy the middle east, africa, etc. with the coups. France in particular can shut up when it comes to african leaders, with how many assassinations and coups have happened thanks to french involvement. And then people like you turn around and yell at muslims and anyone else that dares to flee the regions.
@@truenewsglobalwe aint screwed have you ever seen a day in history a year on our official wiki page where there not at least one riot a year ? Its the damn routine for us the routine ! Its not new we are used to it
Well does that not say something? It is like when my child let go of the wheel and realizes that I am in control. Your vote means nothing if a no government runs as if there was a government.
Thats also an issue, that doesnt represent a majority. The issue with france isnt that they dont have that second election but the fact no minority government is being formed
@@RedAndTheCompany567 I think the US and the UK and France should stop this "winner takes it all" rubbish. With more parties having to negotiate and work out solutions together in coalitions, they have more dialogue and direct democracy where no part of the population feels quite left out. In Scandinavia they sometimes have up to 15 parties to choose from. And those countries are the top countries on the "happiest countries list". Political top skills for the elected: dialogue, negotiations and compromises. The populations of countries are supposed to get along within and not to be on the brink of civil war.
People saying that it's not democratic : democratie isn't just about people getting who they want. it's also about people not getting who they don't want. and if a lot of people wanted the far right, even more people wanted anything but far right. so this is democratic
But the group that wanted far right still stands out,,they are the majority!!you can't bend this fact with shitty arguments like "the majority didn't want them" !! And this election result and process was nothing but mockery of democracy!!
no government for a couple years could be wonderful for France. imagine no new laws. maybe even removing some old ones. France is sclerotic, it needs a shock to restart. maybe that could be it.
Yeah some of us are thinking to go in the street to demand a new constitution. We would benefit of a one year pause and in the mean time we would work on improving our institutions
The national government only deals with the nation. There are structures of power beyond the national level. Those dudes are doing great! They own the economy. We work for them.
Oh yeah economic shocks do wonders, we absolutely have no history of austerity an deregulation ever devastating a countries economy after short term prosperity from privatization profits
You forgot a major point that could also be seen as a french specificity (and even a democratic scandal) : The national rally technically lost the elections, but have way more ballot papers in their favor in total (10 Millions against 6Millions for the NFP). Also, it wasn't clearly mentioned that the NFP itself is an alliance of several parties with a lot of drastically different ideas (ideologies), yet they have a strong thing in common : They don't like the national rally. As a notice, they also keep calling them fascists/nazis, which makes it easier to urge people against them everywhere they could.
To be fair, I get your point. Speaking as a french here, and pardon my french, but… Que diantre essayes tu donc de dire ? The way it works is not on a national scale, specifically BECAUSE it isn’t a proportional election. Each voices are counted only in their respective circonscriptions. Hence the disparity in terms of total voices. I have no idea how that works in other countries, but that’s how it always has been in France under the 5th constitution, aka the current one. The 4th constitution was proportional, and from what I’ve heard and read, was even less governable, though that might also have been due to the national assembly having more power than currently. Tl.Dr: Votes are applied only to circonscriptions, not nation wide, hence the disparity in total amount of votes and numbers of seats.
People voted against them because they have just hatred and bad ideas to offer. in most places, people would rather see anyone in power other than them. that's what this vote tells you. you don't have a claim to governing when two thirds of the country despise your ideas.
I am not French so I am not really involved . I think that it’s most likely a Minority government. The Coalition of Moderates is for me the least likely. But because we are in France the total paralysis is a likely outcome.
Very nice video thanks ! One thing to keep in mind is the left party "Nouveau Front Populaire" is actually 5 differents parties, and they have difficulties to speak as one (For example, on 7th july after the results are displayed, each leader had a different "victory" speach, with different visions on what to do next). So it is not a so united bloc as Ensemble, Rassemblement National or Les Républicains.
@@aneeskhamari747 I'm sure that's what you tell yourself. Just try not to infect your children with your own irrational fears. That's why the world is so messed up. Because people like your parents created cowards instead of scholars or warriors. Tribalism will yield nothing positive for you

Multiculturalism has failed you. And you bet we will pass the idea that mass immigration is bad to our children, or atleast, they will hate us or specifically the ideas you have for making them a world in winter for their generation
As a french, I'm both happy and worried. I feel like we just put a probem under the rag. In the short term, the current situation is actually the best I could hope for, no absolute majority for RN or NFP who both have crazy programs that will just ruin France. However, I feel like the next 3 years will be chaotic, and we observed that chaos only pushes voters closer to RN. So I'm worried that the current situation is only opening a boulevard for RN for the next presidential election in 2027. A scenario where the RN would have got a relative majority (switch between NFP and RN) would maybe have been better as they would have been forced to try to rule and fail, and therefore harness all the anger of voters... Only time will tell...
Le RN refusait de former un gouvernement sans majorité absolue, car ils savent que leurs mesures sont impopulaires sur le reste de l'échiquier politique (les lois racistes) et ne passeraient qu'avec des députés RN. D'un autre côté, le NFP peut former un gouvernement minoritaire, en s'appuyant sur le RN pour la partie sociale de leur programme, et en s'appuyant sur le centre pour la partie qui concerne les droits humains. Je ne suis pas sûr que le pays soit si ingouvernable que ça !
The moderates who allied with the far Left will soon regret their decision. France will feel its isolation as more European countries move towards the Right.
The right in Europe is turning centrist in attempts to win. Hardly a win for the right. In the Netherlands Wilders has mellowed down on anti immigration rhetoric and islamophobia much to the dismay of the right here but has won over many votes from turkish and moroccan origin citizens whilst doing so.
Lol that’s like saying france lost out to germany in ww2 because they didn’t kill jews. Just because everyone is driving against the wall, you don’t have to follow them.
@@christianmiller9934 And that is the point. While the main stream media, which always leans Left, like to paint all conservatives as "far right" the fact is that all these conservatives just want stricter immigration rules, tougher punishment for repeat criminals, stronger military, and a concerted effort to keep and maintain their nation's identity and culture. What the hell makes that "far right"?
No idea why anyone calls Le Pen far right She believes in high taxes and a big state/lots of benefits She’s a social democrat who is against mass immigration, no?
I would argue that she is more of a populist than a socialist. She says whatever is popular within the population, but in reality she would probably maintain macron's liberal policies and focus on immigration and security
She's doing Putin's plan and she wants to pull of the EU, to destabilize the EU and to make it vulnerable for the russians to take over. Being against mass immigration is only for attracting voters. She's a traitor.
@@louisg6296 I defo wouldn’t call her a socialist - I don’t think she’s anti private ownership. She’s simply a social democrat - high taxes and a redistributitive inclination. The term far right is used to smear those with whom the centre left establishment disagree. They call Farage far right and he’s simply a Thatcherite low tax classical liberal
It's weird that their electoral system has 3 candidates going to the 2nd round, instead of 2. Why is that? Only with 2 candidates do you know that the winner's got a majority of the votes.
You just need to get 12.5% of votes, so 8 candidates could theoretically participate. If nobody has 12.5% of vote, or only one person, then only the two candidates with the most votes participate. Whoever gets the most votes then gets elected to avoid having ever more rounds. It's just an arbitrary limit like anything else, if 1 in 8 people voted for someone then they represent a significant part of the population and the population should still be able to pick who they think represents them best. 2 picks isn't necessarily better. Either way your vote is thrown away if you lose. Proportional representations and ranked choice voting both seem obviously better than whatever France or the US are doing. At least your voice is always worth something.
@@leeroyjenkins0 trust me: pure proportional representation is not better. Italy had it for 50 years but had to reform it because of toxic side effects. Too long to explain but basically governments had a lifespan of less than a year and politicians were more focused in maintaining their seat than on the needs of the country. Voters picking who represent them best is only the first half of the equation. The second half is a parliamentary majority to support the government. When you have a parliament with more than half a dozen parties none of which has the majority, the compromise and coalition game starts. If it works all is good, but if it doesn’t it’s chaos.
@@pansepot1490 Yep in France the 4th Republic had a more proportionnal system and it never fucking worked and that is why it was replaced by the current constitution, the 5th Rpublic. French people are not good at compromising and see any leader compromising with the opposition as being weak, proportional system can't work with that kind of mentality.
Perfect explanation of the French voting system. Just one additional comment, the huge number of citizens that voted, 66.7%, allowed the victory of the left. The last thing that Melenchon should od is tom loose this voters, thus the left should never accept an Italian option (The technical Draghi government), if the left wants to hope for a future stronger victory.
I visited France 10 years ago, and even then it had a Muslim problem due to disastrous immigration policy; I would NOT visit again, its simply not safe.
Why Muslims are feared so much. If so, why didn't the French government or any govt asks them to convert before handing over refuge? Simply wanting to know.

EU MADE SIMPLE -- THANK YOU!
Thank you for the elegantly simple explanation and intuitive graphics. As a US resident, the way these parliamentary elections work has always befuddled me. Thank you for doing such a well-thought-out presentation to clarify the French election results.
Merci !
"EU made simple" is one of the most daunting tasks you could have ever conceived so thanks for doing it well!
Honestly, Macron did this so that the far-right would not win, and I think he knew that he had little chances of winning too. So, really, despite the absolute madness that's about to unfold, Macron still won because he got what he wanted.
Or, quoting a terrible movie, "I don't care if I win, I just want Le Pen to lose".
You have been paying attention 👍
Is it possible to impeach Macron and go for early elections
...
@@kachain8353 Yes, but it needs to prove that Macron is either tyrannical or mentally unfit to be President, which is not the case.
His party's results are way higher than the part of the population it represents. His gamble paid off because he saved his party from becoming irrelevant for now even though it would deserve to become so
Far right

Isn't that how voting usually works? It's not like politics is religion (hopefully), where you see the person you vote for as some kind of absolute greatness you can't criticize.
Loving the way you structure your videos! You broke down a complex topic in a refreshingly simple way. On top of that, you did it in a non-partisan manner. Well done!
It always confuses me how we have newspapers reporting over months how far right everything has become and we will have a far right ensemble and then all of a sudden everyone has a sleep about it and voted for the exact opposite? WTF
It's a big surprise everywhere in france especially the left ???? The party that everyone thought was going last.
There's no far right. But I agree. Very strange.
Remember how in the US 2016 election the media had Clinton winning and then Trump took it? The mainstream media is deeply out of touch with current society.
The unlikely voters saw that the far right RN was about to win and decided to stop them
@@leroyrodgers6089 what?
This was very informative. I didn't see a better explanation anywhere 👏
Hello, French here. Nice video, very well explained. I don't predict the future, but for me, the government will be blocked and Macron will probably dissolve the Assembly next year. The 5th Republic is not meant to have 3 blocs in the Assembly.
So you're saying the voter's will be disappointed again and the show goes on .
How do you feel regarding the fact that you sabotaged your own country?
@@freedom4639 the show goes on for a few years now lol. After decades between right or left in power, french were exhausted with having no significant change in their lives so Macron created the center and people chose him because they were tired of the others. Now people are tired of the center and they try to come back to left and right.
@@RonJeremy514 What do you mean by "you sabotaged"? You mean me?
What's your question? People think differently so they vote differently, are you asking for a dictatorship? If you have one guy to blame it's Macron, he didn't have to dissolve the Assembly but he did it anyway. So we'll lose at least 1 year or 3.
Another outcome might be a government from PS, Ensemble, LR.
In South Africa, if you get 50% of the votes, you get 50% of the seats... Tadaa!!!
Ah yes, lets rule like they rule in africa. Hahahahahaha. Have you missed the last 15 genocides or are you just stupid?
How's things in SA these days?
@@DarrenMossmannot very good, there’s electrical outages every few hours. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what a shit hole South Africa is. White people build there infrastructure and everything during the colonial times, teaching them how to operate and maintain it also. Then as soon as the colonizers leave everything falls apart again. Afrika in general is such a massive money pit its insane, the amounts of trillions of cash moneys we sent them that were either pocketed by corrupt officials or was just wasted on useless projects.
quite bad, Zimbabwe and SA kinda confirm that Africans have no idea what they doing. They need the whites to fix their shit. They tried to rely on the Chinese and soon finding out that it wasn't a good idea. They should have gone the UAE/Saudi route where they allowed Indians to fix their shit if they really don't want the whites. (The Gulf guys import everything and have no idea how to build or maintain infrastructure by themselves, the oil money helps). Hopefully things get better for the Africans as relying on themselves is hopeless. It takes a couple generations of skilled labour to carry on knowledge to build and maintain a nation. This is not a race thing, it's a basic civilization thing. It is only now that the gulf is starting to have people of their own get into the field as they have had enough time and support from other nations. They had to rely on Europeans for financial markets and institutions, Indians for building and maintaining infrastructure and a wide variety of other Asian/African immigrants to fill out low skill jobs. They had plenty money so they could do it in a few decades, Africa doesn't have that luxury, it's gonna take a generation or two. The south Americans are finally getting their shit together and they have close ties and help with USA and revenue from tourism to facilitate it, not to forget the recent good leadership in place in select countries. WE WUZ KANGS attitude isn't gonna get you to wakanda status. Unity, collaboration and lots of help will. Getting rid of extremist religious groups, corruption and warlords would be a great start.
In Sweden too, but that does not make frances' system any less good.
As a French speaker myself from Switzerland who follows closely French politics, people are only seeing part of the picture in this parliamentary election. Let me explain in 5 points :
1. The NFP is a coalition of parties not a single one. The biggest party of this coalition is the Far-Left party France Unbound which counts for around 15% of all French voters. The Socialist Party comes second with around 10%.
In the opposite, the seats that the National Rally won are almost exclusively for their party making them almost double their number of seat in parliament from before.
2. The NFP is a very heterogeneous coalition with parties that are always infighting on almost every issue. Like NUPES before, they are really likely to collapse and not endure after the new appointment of Parliament. On issues like Palestine, the EU, Ukraine, economic reforms etc. France Unbound and the Socialist Party for example are complete opposites. Making the collation very likely to collapse in the near future in Parliament.
3. This election fragmented Ensemble and the Republicans. Even if they won more seats than expected, the latter is shifting more and more towards the National Rally because of the left-leaning alliance of Ensemble. There were even splits in the party before the elections. For Ensemble it’s the same, the right-leaning members of Macron’s party are very skeptical of this alliance and are very likely to block initiatives from the left and join a more rightist party for 2027.
4.Like mentioned before, if (or more likely, when) the NFP will collapse, the RN will have a relative majority in Parliament anyway due to the fact that it’s their own party who won the additional seats and not a coalition.
5. The fact that overall the French electorate is more to the right than to the left, like we saw in the first round, is gonna make the situation particularly tense if a left-leaning government is put in place in a deadlock parliament. This will radicalise the right and make it even more popular, due to this feeling of betrayal by the political system of France. And when in 2027 Macron will not be able to present himself again, the situation might become really dire and serious for the entire country due to the polarisation of the entire political spectrum.
You know what they say, the left always eats itself. As a french person, all I have to do is hold out for 3 more years for the RN to come clean up France.
Thank you for your analysis. Maybe you should start a channel!
Comment seen on another video some minutes ago! But it's a nice comment
I'd only disagree with n3, and the fact LR will join RN. As the split between far right LR and moderate LR has already occur, I think LR Canal Historique will do as less alliance as possible with RN. Let's also state that RN is not rightwing, they are far right. They have close to no common ground with RN when it comes to economy or external affaires.
Maybe what's more likely is that LR will join Ensemble for some laws, but even that won't be enough, as they have 165 + 65 < 289 seats.
So anyway, it looks liké nothing will come out of the assembly for another year.
No progress, but non drawbacks either... Can't know for sure of course.
Thanks for this. The French political system is exhausting! How can anyone keep up?
I am still in disbelief that the French are moving to the right like the lemmings that follow Trump. I always count on France to show us the left was still alive, and her people to always insure it.
Never heard French elections explained so clearly and concisely ... thank you :)
I don't think France is going to change at all.
It will be even more of a sh*thole than it already is

Looks more like Chinese Checkers to me.
It is. Macron is a very skilled politician. That's one of the few things I'll give him credit for. France's left-leaning media are clueless to what he's done (they speak of him resigning🤭💀). Its marvelously hilarious that they have no idea. None at all.
what do you think we'll end up happening with Hungary? We already had a country that left the European Union, can we also kick out a country?

@@JoseLopez-oq7xrThe French people lost.
French here: The budget can't really be blocked: the 49.3 rule forces the budget to be approved when the parliament can't agree on it, and was at the beginning created exactly for this purpose. This 49.3 recourse exists to avoid any shutdown situation.
In the past years, the 49.3 was used a lot for laws not directly related to the state's budget, which created a lot of tensions in the country. The presidential party used it to pass laws despite not having a majority in the parliament.
That's the only complementary information I have to add as the video explains really well the situation in my opinion.

I can't understand why this is 'super unexpected'. National Rally got 34% of the votes in the first round, which also means that 66% did not vote for it. Given that, and the collaboration of Ensemble and the Left block, NR had no chance in the second round to achieve a majority.
They were trying to scare the voters.
People have second preferences also
What do you mean 66% didn't vote for it . There were slept between the centrist and left
Yeah and it wasn't clear if 3th candidats would withdraws
Yeah it was obvious from the beginning, if all non RN candidates work together. Don't know why Media calls that a surprise and others fail to explains this, so that all the russians everywhere can call it a "fraud".
Congratulations on the win
Very well explained. Thank you.
Meanwhile in the uk
Lib/dems 3.8 million votes .... 71 seats
Reform 4.0 million votes ... 4 seats
🤔
Lib dems were much more effective at targeting their advertising and campaigns to the specific seats where they were likely to win. Reform voters on the other hand… well, they’re not the brightest, and so didn’t vote tactically
@@theanarkiddie4569I think a system where tactical voting is needed at all is pretty fucked
@@bountifulauto8257 I do agree, but I think even more representative systems like ranked choice voting would have returned very poor results for reform. The reality is that, even if a large number of people strongly support you, if the *majority* of people strongly oppose you, then the most democratic result is that you do not win that seat.
damn and they laugh at us in america hahahaha. No keep your million party system over there europe I dont want a million votes a seat here that would suck
Yes, that is the British electoral system for you.
I am French and I completely forgot what I learnt in school about the legislative elections so this video really helped me 😂❤
Vive la France!!!!
I don't know why you claim that this result was unexpected. It was contrary to the claimed projected seat totals reported by the media. None of these projections factored in the tactical voting that everyone knew was going to happen. The National Rally didn't broadcast that they weren't going to do as well as the projections because they wanted to build up enthusiasm for their party. The opposition didn't point out that the National Rally wouldn't do as well as was projected because they wanted to build up fear of a National Rally victory. Politics is about lying for advantage. The media is part of politics. RUclips is about getting views even if it requires saying stupid, obviously foolish things..
RUclips cheered for Le Pen then Macron won, and the cheering stopped. Then they started warning that "Paris will burn" and "France will fall." Every time Parisians would riot, it's "France will fall" and so on. Most seem to be Americans and Brits who lament the effects of mass immigration. But I think the Brits and Americans fail to see that the French are more insistent that all immigrants become French, so it's not really the same situation. Plus, is there a year when the French didn't riot against their government?
Astonishing, an unbiased report! Congratulations! That is so rare that I subscribed
I'm not a political expert, But how is party that was so unpopular they only won 2 seats in the first round all the sudden gets 166 sits?
Yes strange not just in France
No appetite for labour in UK and suddenly landslide majority.
Its a magic show.
Because it's a centrist party so it does particularly well in a runoff. People vote it because they don't want to vote the other candidate. It won't get 50% but it can win in the runoff.
Tactical voting essentially
The party you like didn't win?
Instead of wasting your vote, you spend it on a party that youre meh with so that the party you actually despise doesn't get the dub
Satan's been busy
they got votes from left and right to prevent right and left candidates.
Très content. Je respire pour la France. Vivre la France 🇫🇷.
That's a beautiful example of western or left democracy , just let them vote and see what's happening . And if you can't beat your opponent in the first run , then get all parties together to beat him in the second .
@SussyBaka-zs3kj What is democratic if you make a second vote , cause you lost the first one ? That's something a dictator would do , gathering all parties together to beat one is not very democratic at all . The constitution allows that , but it's more a grey zone . And not very fair for all the voters of RN , that's a reason why so many people don't vote in Europe . 66% only , no matter what you vote for , they do what they want anyways .
Why the hell the lefties rally , if they won ? 😅
Yes if you have a party most people absolutely don't want they'll vote for the coalition of people they don't hate as much. Shocking, the majority of people can pick who does or does not rule.
They would have lost in proportional representation, and in ranked choice voting too. That's what happens when most people actively dislike your party.
Similar thing happened in India. All opposition parties ganged up and did not allow vote split to happen among them, with the sole aim of defeating Modi

Excellent explanation.
Thanks for the well done video! Well explained.
Proportional representation is the answer to all the problems, the two party system does not work and does not represent the voters desire.
Propertional representation doesn't work either or Spain and Italie wouldn't have had dozens of governments in the 2010's. Responsible leadership is the only things that works, and it is really temporary in any system.
Proportional representation is in the program of the left, and was also discussed by Ensemble - now seems to be the time, it won't change that the RN is a minority that got around 34% in first round - and might actually even decrease their chances to have an absolute majority, because this was only seen as a possibility with a third of the votes because of non-proportionality.
It's not a miracle solution but non-proportionality means a tiny minority can get a majority of the seats - this was a possibility with RN - no matter how divisive or unrepresentative they are - with no guarantee that it adds stability to the country. Macron's party previously having an underserved majority also added to the general dissatisfaction of the French people and fed the populist vote. Most succesful democracies include a proportional representation, France UK and the US are exceptions.
No election system prevents idiots getting voted into parlaments by idiots. You could study both ways recently. Just look at the Netherlands or the latest election results in Northern Ireland.

@@RedAndTheCompany567 I think the US and the UK and France should stop this "winner takes it all" rubbish. With more parties having to negotiate and work out solutions together in coalitions, they have more dialogue and direct democracy where no part of the population feels quite left out. In Scandinavia they sometimes have up to 15 parties to choose from. And those countries are the top countries on the "happiest countries list". Political top skills for the elected: dialogue, negotiations and compromises. The populations of countries are supposed to get along within and not to be on the brink of civil war.
Very good Explanation of French Politics 👌👍💯, l always hear about this rounds but never knew how do they work.
People saying that it's not democratic : democratie isn't just about people getting who they want. it's also about people not getting who they don't want. and if a lot of people wanted the far right, even more people wanted anything but far right. so this is democratic
👍👍🖖🖖
Exactly!
But the group that wanted far right still stands out,,they are the majority!!you can't bend this fact with shitty arguments like "the majority didn't want them" !! And this election result and process was nothing but mockery of democracy!!
no government for a couple years could be wonderful for France. imagine no new laws. maybe even removing some old ones. France is sclerotic, it needs a shock to restart. maybe that could be it.
I think so
Yeah some of us are thinking to go in the street to demand a new constitution. We would benefit of a one year pause and in the mean time we would work on improving our institutions
In the meantime, third world immigrants are destroying the country.

French Toast
fantastic explainer. thank you!
glad you liked it
Thank you for this. The French system is very complicated and I couldn’t understand what had happened. Your work has made it clearer.
You forgot a major point that could also be seen as a french specificity (and even a democratic scandal) : The national rally technically lost the elections, but have way more ballot papers in their favor in total (10 Millions against 6Millions for the NFP). Also, it wasn't clearly mentioned that the NFP itself is an alliance of several parties with a lot of drastically different ideas (ideologies), yet they have a strong thing in common : They don't like the national rally. As a notice, they also keep calling them fascists/nazis, which makes it easier to urge people against them everywhere they could.
It’s possible that the national rally makes it easy for their opponents to call them F and N.
To be fair, I get your point. Speaking as a french here, and pardon my french, but… Que diantre essayes tu donc de dire ?
The way it works is not on a national scale, specifically BECAUSE it isn’t a proportional election. Each voices are counted only in their respective circonscriptions. Hence the disparity in terms of total voices. I have no idea how that works in other countries, but that’s how it always has been in France under the 5th constitution, aka the current one. The 4th constitution was proportional, and from what I’ve heard and read, was even less governable, though that might also have been due to the national assembly having more power than currently.
Tl.Dr: Votes are applied only to circonscriptions, not nation wide, hence the disparity in total amount of votes and numbers of seats.
People voted against them because they have just hatred and bad ideas to offer. in most places, people would rather see anyone in power other than them. that's what this vote tells you. you don't have a claim to governing when two thirds of the country despise your ideas.

Split the country, North France can be capitalists & South France communists.
Lets see which side ends up being better socially and economically.
The left is not communist stop being dumb
is there any reason southern france is soo lefty ?
Social democrats = communists according to you lmao
And Paris is the cloaca😂
The south is not homogeneously left wing. The Mediterranean cost territories are the most right wing in the country, especially the south east
I am not French so I am not really involved . I think that it’s most likely a Minority government. The Coalition of Moderates is for me the least likely. But because we are in France the total paralysis is a likely outcome.
You're on the Earth. You're involved.
The Left, The Green may go well with Macron, but the actual center right (and not fake right)? Not gonna happen.
@@Hardcore_Remixer I think you are right
@@bigguy7353 I mean I don’t know any background except this video
You don't have any moderates. They all hate you and will flood your country with more brown and black people. this isn't moderate
Very nice video thanks !
One thing to keep in mind is the left party "Nouveau Front Populaire" is actually 5 differents parties, and they have difficulties to speak as one (For example, on 7th july after the results are displayed, each leader had a different "victory" speach, with different visions on what to do next). So it is not a so united bloc as Ensemble, Rassemblement National or Les Républicains.
Once upon a time there was a wonderful country called France which used to had a beautiful capital city called Paris.
Your hatred will consume you
@@Inoffensive_nameit's common sense not hatred
@@aneeskhamari747 I'm sure that's what you tell yourself. Just try not to infect your children with your own irrational fears. That's why the world is so messed up. Because people like your parents created cowards instead of scholars or warriors. Tribalism will yield nothing positive for you
@@aneeskhamari747 I'm sure that's what everyone who engages in tribal hostility tells themselves. I'm sorry your parents and education didn't better prepare you for the modern world. Just try not to pass off your own insecurities onto your children, please.
Multiculturalism has failed you. And you bet we will pass the idea that mass immigration is bad to our children, or atleast, they will hate us or specifically the ideas you have for making them a world in winter for their generation
As a french, I'm both happy and worried. I feel like we just put a probem under the rag. In the short term, the current situation is actually the best I could hope for, no absolute majority for RN or NFP who both have crazy programs that will just ruin France. However, I feel like the next 3 years will be chaotic, and we observed that chaos only pushes voters closer to RN. So I'm worried that the current situation is only opening a boulevard for RN for the next presidential election in 2027. A scenario where the RN would have got a relative majority (switch between NFP and RN) would maybe have been better as they would have been forced to try to rule and fail, and therefore harness all the anger of voters... Only time will tell...
Le RN refusait de former un gouvernement sans majorité absolue, car ils savent que leurs mesures sont impopulaires sur le reste de l'échiquier politique (les lois racistes) et ne passeraient qu'avec des députés RN.
D'un autre côté, le NFP peut former un gouvernement minoritaire, en s'appuyant sur le RN pour la partie sociale de leur programme, et en s'appuyant sur le centre pour la partie qui concerne les droits humains. Je ne suis pas sûr que le pays soit si ingouvernable que ça !
Hi, if a commie party got lots votes. No wonder people will be going to the right.
vote for Melenchon 💖🔥
No revolution then.

The most intelligent comment I’ve seen on the French parliament election 🗳️ results.
The moderates who allied with the far Left will soon regret their decision. France will feel its isolation as more European countries move towards the Right.
While most have moved towards the right they haven’t moved that far
Cry and seethe all you want, Nazi. 1940 is NEVER coming back. Ever.
The right in Europe is turning centrist in attempts to win. Hardly a win for the right. In the Netherlands Wilders has mellowed down on anti immigration rhetoric and islamophobia much to the dismay of the right here but has won over many votes from turkish and moroccan origin citizens whilst doing so.
Lol that’s like saying france lost out to germany in ww2 because they didn’t kill jews. Just because everyone is driving against the wall, you don’t have to follow them.
@@christianmiller9934 And that is the point. While the main stream media, which always leans Left, like to paint all conservatives as "far right" the fact is that all these conservatives just want stricter immigration rules, tougher punishment for repeat criminals, stronger military, and a concerted effort to keep and maintain their nation's identity and culture. What the hell makes that "far right"?
This was very helpful. Thank you
Una vez más Francia se rinde ante otros. Esta vez no merece que America se sacrifique por ellos como lo hizo en la 2da guerra mundial.
Jews of France if you are still there. This is another reason to go before it’s to late.
I'm sure that the Jews in France breathe a sigh of a relief that a Holocaust denier didn't win the election
What. You just set a new high bar for how much brainrot can fit into one person.
@@Merble First act of the Loony left government was to recognize Palestine. What Palestine is was not defined. It would seem the brainrot is yours.
Clear as mud.
Its supposed to be.
The islamic republic of france named palestina! RIP
Congratulations to the people of France, finally a government for the people, and not just for the rich.
Pulling candidates is rigging the system. A trick if you will.
No idea why anyone calls Le Pen far right
She believes in high taxes and a big state/lots of benefits
She’s a social democrat who is against mass immigration, no?
the left is so far left that she's considered far right
I would argue that she is more of a populist than a socialist. She says whatever is popular within the population, but in reality she would probably maintain macron's liberal policies and focus on immigration and security
@@louisg6296I think all politicians around the EU are populist. They say one thing then the other the next
She's doing Putin's plan and she wants to pull of the EU, to destabilize the EU and to make it vulnerable for the russians to take over. Being against mass immigration is only for attracting voters. She's a traitor.
@@louisg6296 I defo wouldn’t call her a socialist - I don’t think she’s anti private ownership.
She’s simply a social democrat - high taxes and a redistributitive inclination.
The term far right is used to smear those with whom the centre left establishment disagree. They call Farage far right and he’s simply a Thatcherite low tax classical liberal
Thanks for the great explanation!
It's weird that their electoral system has 3 candidates going to the 2nd round, instead of 2. Why is that? Only with 2 candidates do you know that the winner's got a majority of the votes.
You just need to get 12.5% of votes, so 8 candidates could theoretically participate. If nobody has 12.5% of vote, or only one person, then only the two candidates with the most votes participate.
Whoever gets the most votes then gets elected to avoid having ever more rounds. It's just an arbitrary limit like anything else, if 1 in 8 people voted for someone then they represent a significant part of the population and the population should still be able to pick who they think represents them best. 2 picks isn't necessarily better. Either way your vote is thrown away if you lose. Proportional representations and ranked choice voting both seem obviously better than whatever France or the US are doing. At least your voice is always worth something.
@@leeroyjenkins0 trust me: pure proportional representation is not better. Italy had it for 50 years but had to reform it because of toxic side effects. Too long to explain but basically governments had a lifespan of less than a year and politicians were more focused in maintaining their seat than on the needs of the country.
Voters picking who represent them best is only the first half of the equation. The second half is a parliamentary majority to support the government. When you have a parliament with more than half a dozen parties none of which has the majority, the compromise and coalition game starts. If it works all is good, but if it doesn’t it’s chaos.
@@pansepot1490 Yep in France the 4th Republic had a more proportionnal system and it never fucking worked and that is why it was replaced by the current constitution, the 5th Rpublic. French people are not good at compromising and see any leader compromising with the opposition as being weak, proportional system can't work with that kind of mentality.
In France, you keep voting until the party they want wins.
Perfect explanation of the French voting system. Just one additional comment, the huge number of citizens that voted, 66.7%, allowed the victory of the left. The last thing that Melenchon should od is tom loose this voters, thus the left should never accept an Italian option (The technical Draghi government), if the left wants to hope for a future stronger victory.
Destroyed from within…sincerely tragic
Thanks for the explanations
I visited France 10 years ago, and even then it had a Muslim problem due to disastrous immigration policy; I would NOT visit again, its simply not safe.
Why Muslims are feared so much. If so, why didn't the French government or any govt asks them to convert before handing over refuge? Simply wanting to know.
Because they are stupid@@jatisher2218
That's bad for france
Dr. Destouches is laughing from his grave.
Thank very good explanation
##FranceHasFallen 😢
I 🤔 think whole europe
Indeed, the rise of the Far-right is making Europe fall.
It seems Pol Pot was right all along with his stance on urbanites
Urban areas aren't bad in an of themselves. The problem is they attract disgusting people.
The French people like things as they are, that's their decision and we should respect it.
very kind and respectful thing to say thank you from France
really with Islam taking over you county?? Are French people totally blind eye to the Arab extremist and far left?
If they want to live in a toilet filled with excrement, that’s on them. Let them deal with it.
Most people in France aren’t French anymore
