My limited understanding of French politics has me thinking that after La Pen’s National Rally party had a surprisingly strong showing in the first round of voting, the people of France went “wait shit okay I know we’re pissed but let’s not get carried away here.”
Good to see.
JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise:
—Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!)
—Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well.
—No bloc close to majority.
