  • A political scramble in France to thwart the rise of right-wing politicians seems to have worked, but the country's parliament is at a virtual standstill. Angela Charlton, Western Europe news director for the Associated Press, joins CBS News to discuss what's next for the French government.

    Wanting a National identity is considered far right these days....Seems "French" is a dirty word in France.

      Promoting racism, xenophobia, homophobia, antisemitism, misogyny and all kind of hateful and dangerous rhetoric is considered far right which is exactly what the national rally (the far right French party) stand for in France.

      You're just displaying your ignorance about how the french political system works. After an election, a majority needs to be formed to have a prime minister and to effectively govern. If there's no majority, as it's the case right now, you can't govern. Negotiations have to go through between parties to form a coalition.
      So yes, the parliament is in a standstill. It's not an opinion. It's a fact.

      They have had outright Socialist governments in the past. You're too young to remember Francois Mitterrand, from the 1970s and 80's, but I do. That Marxist ship has already sailed before, bro. You've lost that battle. Question is how much sway the Socialist part of the coalition will have over Macron? No breadlines. The French love food too much for that.

    It would be great to have more options than far left or far right for those of us that are independent and like good policies. Where women can be women again and treated like adults. Where taxpayers money can be spent on citizens. A comprehensive immigration bill that citizens want. Where people have representation instead of people who want to rule them.
