Macron just dissolved the national assembly. There's no reason to believe the new assembly won't exactly represent the same percentages we have just witnessed. Our country is fucked.

I hope the French know how hard it is to get rid of the right wing once you vote them in. When Sunak called an election in the UK within the first week we had relaxed voting requirements for expats (a typically right wing voting group) and anonymous complaints against MPs of the opposing party that simply prevent them from standing because the complaints investigation procedure is longer than the very short election window.

We're already led by the right wing though.

Liberals have been fucking our country for decades.

Yeah, the left doesn't want to make amends and unify. My bet is macron needed an ego boost or something, the socialists and the centrists will unify, so even if they win we get basically the same government. And even then it will be more to the right than it previously was.

Best case scenario the left union (LFI EELV PCF etc...) goes second turn against the centrists and socialists. That's assuming we get more leftists and as much centrists as in 2022.

Worst case scenario the RN and centrists go second turn. This would assume the votes for everyone stay the same, which isn't true the LFI has gotten more popular but still it's likely this will happen.
