He never had any intention of being an MP before nor after the election. He will treat parliament in exactly the same way he treated EUparl. He'll turn up when it suits him, make a lot of noise, clip it and post it on SM. I do worry though that Reform will gain momentum unless Labour show change.
Showed the RN is weaker than their EUParl vote presumed them as, showed that the French aren't really ready for RN and now the narrative is that they are much weaker and less triumphant and that always makes far-right groups fall in against each other. This presumes a coalition between RE/NFP
Looking at EUparl elections and French legislatives, survival will be their top priority.
I mean this is good but for us foreign observers the same thing happened in Germany and was sustained and the AfD still got 17% in the EUParl elections so it’s not indicative of a lack of national support
En direct, législatives 2024 : des manifestations contre l’extrême droite partout en France, le cortège à Paris va s’élancer
Des milliers de personnes ont déjà défilé à Bayonne, Toulon, Nancy ou Valenciennes. Dans la capitale, les syndicats, présents dans le cortège, « jouent leur place dans la démocratie si l’extrême droite arrive au pouvoir », dit la CFDT. De source…
Same but its not like they've got much to bleed if we're going from their 2022->2025 performance. Granted the 2022 results were in electoral coalition with UDI, but they haven't really moved since so I don't know what's left to bleed.
Unser antigrüner MP will Neuwahlen im Bund, und er entblödet sich nicht, die EUParl-Wahl als Anlass zu nutzen.
For about 10 of them on EUparl ballot, I really need a single joint bottom of the pile option. There’s no way of ranking them.
Then, in a flash of blinding irony, the EuParl elections will reveal to them the existence of a growing pool of younger fash from whom they have just spent decades isolating themselves...
