BTW, I'm pleased that NR lost in France.
But it's pretty tough to celebrate the ascendancy of a guy who called French Jews “an arrogant minority that lectures to the rest” in a 2017 speech.
He's the head of the largest party; likely to be the next PM, as far as I can tell. "Presumptively the next Prime Minister of France" is pretty ascendant, IMO
LFI is the largest party in NFP but doesn't even have a majority within NFP; he says he wants to be PM, the PS elements in NFP say he won't be. He's not getting a majority to back him and without a majority, a non-presidential party can't pick the PM.
