  1. Hope this is fine. My previous post was the same one but I called youths in France to wake up otherwise they’ll be run over by the far right. I called the far right the N-word because they are but maybe that wasn’t PC…

  2. The real intention of vote is not to vote first. Ty Macron and Ursula for your both incompetence.

  3. Maybe people should ask themselves why is it that nationalist parties like the RN are leading the polls in so many European countries.

  4. The same party that calls for FREXIT is leading the EU polls, weird flex but ok.

  5. That’s the result of years of incorrect national policy, we elected left, right and center and it feels like nothing has changed, so people elects the extreme. Unfortunately the far left and far right parties alike are funded by russians.

  6. I would love to see the results separated by ethnicity or religion.

    Oh well.

  7. Macron’s party leads for boomers, which is normal: he sucked them dry by giving them even more assets, and everyone else will be even more fucked.

    The sad part is that RN is another bunch of crooks. They won’t change anything.

  8. Jesus, i wonder why ?
    Oh, because for 40-50 years it’s got from bad to worst and now people feel powerless, that’s why.
    Maybe if the government listened before this wouldn’t have happened.
    Just saying

  9. It seems the 70 year olds and above are having some intense flashbacks.

  10. From anecdotal experience of talking politics with French people… I feel like the French mindset gravitates to (what I see as) extremism. French politics has always seemed surprisingly moderate to me, considering this.

    What I mean, is that when it comes to politics, French people seem very “principled.” Something is either decided by one principle, or another. If you question the application of their principle, they expect/suggest and alternative principle. Not much room for in-between… at least in casual, rhetorical conversation. Makes for good conversation, at least.

    Good luck, *mes amis*. Choose well.

  11. I have a dream. One day, EU citizens will realize that EU votes are **not** ‘a thing to indicate to the national government how unhappy we are’. They are, actually, fucking important.

    Damnit. If france votes like this for everything, well, that’s a whole separate can of worms but I’d accept it as the (possibly misguided) will of the people. But, there’s no way this is going to be how it goes down. France will vote much less extremist for national elections.

    The same thing often happens here in The Netherlands. They also do it for provincial elections which are also generally seen as irrelevant for actual power, therefore, an excuse to really open the taps and vote the way a kid throws a temper tantrum: Find whatever party is the most anti-establishment one can find, regardless of how nutso + in the pocket of Putin they are, and vote. Because it’s a message to the real parties. Except, no, these elections do, themselves, convey power. And you’re handing it to a bunch of incapable corrupt children.

    Yes, yes. I understand. You wish to communicate dissatisfaction. But this just cannot be the way to do that.

  12. The worst part is that they do not plan solve the biggest current problems and sometimes even refuse acknowledge their existence…

  13. That’s kinda weird to have RN on the left and LO on the right… Actually, they’re pretty much mirrored compared to their placement on the political hemicycle.

  14. Idk if anyone is suprised by this…

    If other countries vote similar frontex can maybe get some proper funding in the near future

  15. Those Eastern Europeans voting for authoritarians… oh wait!

  16. What do these even stand for? Please list them with their orientation.

  17. Voting for Russian puppets and anti_europeans, great.

  18. Tbh as a French i am lowkey relieved to see Zemmour is not higher. European elections are always a big RN moment, but the fact Zemmour is so low hopefully definitively puts an end to his pityful Petain wannabe career.

  19. Love reading the comment sections under these posts.
    Like it’s not possible that voters just wanna vote a party they agree with, they can only be voting it if they are mislead/voting something random for protest or some other bullshit

  20. Again, I am more inclined to want to hear from those who live or have lived in France, than from those outside decrying it as just a populist protest vote.

    One time? Maybe. Consistently over 20 years of growing support? No.

  21. That’s the result of Macron making it his top priority to only end up with one real political opponent and then play the card “You’re not going to let the extremes take over right?”

  22. Macron made it he will make far right extremist win the election after shitting on us (french) for 7 years straight

  23. I understand that Western European countries now want to cut immigration, and the right parties are on the rise. But bruh, these parties be also sucking Putins dirty, rancid, sweaty, hairy asshole too and want to bring European Union to an end.

  24. The people aree Fed up. The EU needs to take a strong stance against the issues that are bothering all western European countries or it’s gonna collapse sooner or later.

    The EU needs to act NOW.

  25. In 2015, during the Greek debt crisis, I was working as a news producer for a major TV station, and we followed the events very very closely. At one point, Greek PM Tsipras said something that flew under the radar, so much that I’ve tried to find the quote several times since then, but haven’t been able, so you’ll have to take my word for it (or, if anyone finds the quote, I’d be grateful). Tsipras told Schauble, who adamantly refused to negotiate:

    “Deal with me now, or next time you’ll have to deal with Marine Le Pen”

    The Greek people showed an incredible amount of dignity, and even though nobody is perfect and I’m most definitely not a fan of Tsipras or Syriza, there was a shining light moment of politics and dialogue. However, the EU in general, and Germany specifically, chose to humiliate Greece and castigate its most vulnerable to save their own banks.

    The same ideas and priorities remain in Brussels, and while there hasn’t been a moment of crisis like that again (not even Brexit, which was huge, but organized), people see the EU as far away, cold and inhumane. I don’t think that’s the only factor that matters in this case, but the truth is that the EU is anything but humane to the societies that conform it.

    Well, it seems Tsipras was right.

  26. History repeating itself. The general public and the poorest in particular, feel disenfranchised, are evidently worse off than 5 years ago and blame the even poorer immigrants instead of the 1% that own everything and control the political process.
    The left have failed to address the rising inequality and have been caught on the wrong foot in the value battle, while the far right panders the “easy solutions” everybody with a basic IQ knows to be unfeasible or downright impossible.

  27. Every French person voting RN drinking the Putin juice straight from the 3 inch mini wiener.
