\"\"Manon Aubry and her party, France Unbowed, see Zohran Mamdani as an example of how to bring about \u201cradical change\u201d as they look to make a splash in the municipal elections that will take place across France in 2026. | Frederick Florin\/Getty Images<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s likely triumph over the experienced but scandal-plagued Andrew Cuomo \u2014\u00a0the former New York governor who is running as an independent after being defeated by Mamdani in the Democratic primary \u2014 is also the latest example of more moderate parties being outflanked by more radical forces at both ends of the political spectrum.<\/p>\n

France Unbowed has established itself as a dominant force on the left in the decade after former Socialist President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande\u2019s single term ended in disappointment. But while France Unbowed leader Jean-Luc M\u00e9lenchon has had strong showings in presidential races, the party has struggled to take control of local administrations and to prove it can govern on a radical platform \u2014 a gap it hopes to close in next year\u2019s municipal elections.<\/p>\n

POLITICO\u2019s Poll of Polls<\/a> for the U.K. shows the <\/strong>Greens have climbed to 14 percent, just 4 percentage points behind Prime Minister Keir Starmer\u2019s Labour Party. The latest Find Out Now poll<\/a>, released last week, showed the Greens \u2014 boosted by new leader Zack Polanski\u2019s brand of \u201ceco-populism\u201d \u2014 overtaking Labour for the first time.<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s The Left\u2019s has continued to rise gradually since its surprise showing <\/a>in February and the party is now in a stronger position, polling shows<\/a>, to challenge its moderate rivals, the Greens and the Social Democrats.<\/p>\n

The Greens candidate for Paris mayor, David Belliard,\u00a0said\u00a0Mamdani\u2019s success in appealing to voters worried about the cost of living, an issue plaguing Parisians as well as New Yorkers, had confirmed his suspicion that his party needed to run a more progressive campaign after spending more than two decades as a junior coalition partner to center-left mayors in the French capital who have done more to make the city greener than cheaper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve spent a lot of time fighting against the end of the world, but maybe not enough helping people make it to the end of the month,\u201d Belliard said. <\/p>\n
