Former Pingu Child Actor: classic centrism at work!!!

classic centrism at work!!!

What could have happened today if more candidates who came in 3rd had refused to drop out? Hint of an answer in the city of Aix. Here, the Macronist candidate refused to drop out. As a result, no front vs the far-right. Result: RN wins with 37%. Left at 36%. Macronists 27%.

just handing out easy wins to fascists to spite the left!!!!!!!!!!

the left union literally carried this whole election and saved france from fascism lol and macron gets to keep strutting around like the fucking king pretending he did that ahhahaha pathetic fucking cunt, literally guillotine him now

I'm not a fan of centrists, but the PM Attal gets some respect from me, for getting as many centrists to rally around the NFP's strategy as possible, even when his boss fucked the whole thing on *purpose*.

What's funny is that the latter was big news in France, but isn't brought up at all in English-language outlets. bsky.app/profile/tani... and bsky.app/profile/tani... (follow up)

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

yeah macron really tried to ratfuck them as per usual, it's his whole thing that man is a fucking festering maggot respect to this lad facing him down

Most of France and parts of his own party hate him (the latter probably increasing in number after the calling of the election onwards), and I hope he suffers.

yep he is a loser and he can't last, he is so widely hated it's got to be getting at him

Imagine coming to work tomorrow and everyone finds out that you're the one that let the fash win. Stellar work.

Amd that's how the FBPE crowd ensured we got the worst Brexit possible

yes!! refusing a government of national unity!!!!!!!!!

*and

Or just by refusing to vote Labour in 2017 because they were still trying to undo the referendum

yes!~~~~~remember the all the websites that popped up suddenly that lied about who was in second place so people would tactically vote wrong??

What was so frustrating was when you'd see the results afterwards, and realise that had people not voted libdem, Labour would have been ahead in a lot of places (Emma Coad's loss being a good example).

Those goddamn Lib Dem bar charts
