  • People in France have voted to elect 577 members of the country’s National Assembly.
    Exit polls show that Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party are ahead in the first round of France’s parliamentary elections.
    We now head into several days of horsetrading before next week’s run-off.
    According to exit polls, the RN won around 34% of the vote, which puts the party ahead of leftist and centrist rivals, including President Emmanuel Macron’s Ensemble alliance, whose bloc won 20.5%- 23%.
    The New Popular Front, a hastily assembled left-wing coalition, was projected to win around 29% of the vote, the exit polls showed.
    The results from the high-turnout vote, which were in line with polls ahead of the election, have provided little clarity on whether the anti-immigrant, eurosceptic RN will be able to form a government alongside the pro-EU Macron.

      Who are the colonisers you are talking about? Are you refering to the immigrant communities who come from the previous colonies of these countries? In the case of France as you suggesting that the Algerian for example are now the colonisers of France? So do the Algerians now have military control of France and stop the French from seeking education? Do they starve them like in Bangladesh where more than 3 million died from a man made starvation? Do they go around killing thousands of French like the French did in Algeria (where for example in 1946 the french killed between 10,000 to 30,000 in one day as they protested for independence)?

    Le Pen for VP 2024

      What does VP mean, Vice President?
      Such a position does not exist in France.
      The Legislative will determine who becomes the next Prime Minister, and RN candidate is not Marine Le Pen, but Jordan Bardella.
      Le Pen is preparing (without telling anyone, but it's obvious), for the possibility of a Macron resignation , therefore the Presidency of France.

    Much of the slimy media would call me “far-right”, but coddling Putin aggression or extreme attitudes towards environmental issues or cooperation with legit allies is also unacceptable.
