      “Success, I threw the government under the bus but I still get to be in it”

      Amazing, nuke your own government due to trying to call the bluff on the far right. Then form a new government without those that helped you stop them, in fact now basically calling upon them to be an unofficial partner of your government by voting through your laws.

      Next presidential election is cooked

      This teetering between left and right in government gets awfully exhausting. Be cool if they could just act like adults and make decisions that are best for the whole of the population regardless of who it will offend. Unfortunately people are too entrenched in their preferred ideology and politicians will play into that to ensure maintaining power while ultimately achieving little.

      ELI5, is this good or bad? I honestly don’t know asking a genuine question as I don’t know much about French politics

      The Daily did an episode on this saying it’s Macrons way of calling their bluff. In his mind he thinks giving them some power will show the people they’re not fit to lead and will go back to how it was. Or if can blow up in his face 🤷🏻‍♂️

      He used the left to accomplish his own goals, they essentially get nothing or next to it; a party that won the most seats. He got them good; the so-called Left had a major weakness. They only thought about keeping the right out at any cost. Now their internal fracture will surface, and Macron will play segments of it like a fiddle.

      This is what was going to happen to the hodge podge party the so-called left who came together for one purpose and that has now ended. The right and the conservative are gaining, the left, next to nothing, in fact they are getting a further right conservative government.

      Didn’t France just beat down a far right infiltration motivated by Russian propaganda?

    15. JohnyBullet on

      If they solve some of the immigration stuff and not turn to Russia, then it will be amazing.

      But given how much every western government been, being left or right, I don’t have much hope for the french people

    16. ZlionAlex on

      I have to say, people keep falling for the right wing = russian influence propaganda hard.

      This corruption is intolerable; the left rightfully deserves to hold government, but the bourgeois elites fear them. The working people of France must organize and strike against this injustice; and may the strike grow into a revolution that ends the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.

      1930’s germany reborn. how many times will centrist liberals side with the far right (instead of the left) before people realize what they’re doing?

    19. VirginiaWillow on

      The centrist making his move to right? *gasps* Never saw it coming

    20. WednesdayFin on

      Well it was a choice to govern with either RN or Mélenchon’s troupé who are expicitly known for being unable to co-operate in anything. It’s even in their name.

    21. FlappyBored on

      It’s been hilarious seeing ‘left wing’ Americans praise Macron and view him as some hero when he’s been fiscal conservative for years and is an ex-banker and has ran a right wing government for years now.

    23. elZaphod on

      Is the French “far-right” a moderate view us Americans would gladly settle for at this point? Asking for a friend.

    24. felis_magnetus on

      France has a habit of numbering its republics for a reason. Expect the number to go one up in the coming years.

    25. EasyButterscotch5018 on

      Yeah, this is the last time i ever vote for the center. Bunch of libertarian, from now on it’s either the left or the far right for me, as long as economic liberalism is stopped i dont care who does it

    26. LongLiveLiberalism on

      What was the point of calling the election in the first place? The only way it makes sense is if you want the far right to win to expose their incompetence but now you just keep doing the incumbent fatigue cycle till they win

    27. Terrariola on

      Two godawful options. I only hope this is the right choice for France.

    28. Doctor_Asshole on

      Bunch of Americans / liberals in here acting like this is some huge deal. The left do NOT have over 50%. It’s about a 3rd each and the left refused to work with the middle. 

      Also, all this fear mongering of how the right is so evil and facist with no mention of how a lot of left wing radicals in the past have also been just as evil. Castro, Stalin, etc. 

      In reality the center is trying to have a somewhat functioning government and making compromises as SHOULD happen.

      Look at America’s two party system and how they can barely ever have a bipartisan bill. It’s shameful.

      Looking at the composition of the Barnier government, it seems to be primarily made of lawmakers from Les Républicains, Renaissance, Mouvement démocrate, and UDI. These parties are on the lines of centre, centre-right, and right-wing. By and large, Macron’s government is still largely centrist, but leaning a bit more to the centre-right. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “right-wing government” (unlike Israel or Türkiye, for example).
