"Who can imagine that a country would allow its own capital to be attacked and provide no response to such a situation?" France's far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon asked rhetorically, in what appeared to be a reference to Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow.

    I really hope France doesn’t go fasciste.

      Probably not. The French left, right, and Macronist Center Right clearly have an evenish split with none of the three blocks big on giving one another a majority. So power is going to be who gets the plurality

        Currently the polls have Le Pen winning in the second round against Melonchon or a centrist if she gets to through the second round (whihc seems almost certain).

          It’s a dead heat for second place. And while polls say that I am not 100% sure they are accounting for tactical voting

        I do not understand how the second round voting system works. Quebec has first-past-the-post 🤢

          If no majority wins in first round the top two face off in the second round. This usually results in a electoral tactical vite of some kind
