Moi qui consulte les actualités françaises histoire de:
L'humble municipale partielle de Villeneuve-Saint-Georges:
Le PS qui dit "Bon on vous fait pas confiance mais on va pas vous censurer au premier coup comme ça quand on vous censurer à la prochaine fois on pourra dire qu'on a fait des compromis" ça me tue tout le monde sait qu'il va se faire censurer ils font juste des chichis pour faire plaisir à la droite
US Americans when a CEO gets shot/dies in a submarine: omg... you can't celebrate someone's death... that's awful...
French people when a far right politician dies: out on the streets celebrating, singing and shooting fireworks, effectively DIYing a holiday, trending on twitter, announcing it in public and everyone cheering, Fatal Bazooka
On est ensemble

Never kill yourself
But those are the funniest options!
I swear I saw this after posting
I have tried not to get obsessive with this election, so I may have missed it, but I got the impression that Mélenchon did his level best to keep his mouth shut during the campaign. I expect this time is now over.

Translated: "According to initial estimates, the left comes first in the second round of the legislative elections, slightly ahead of the presidential camp.
At 8 p.m., according to the first estimates from the Ipsos institute with the Talan group for France Télévisions, Radio France, France24/RFI and LCP-National Assembly, the left-wing coalition Nouveau Front populaire comes out on top in the second round of elections legislative elections, with between 172 and 192 seats.
The presidential camp gathered under the Ensemble banner would win between 150 and 170 seats.
The National Rally and its allies (the fraction of the Les Républicains party which followed the contested president of the party, Eric Ciotti, in his alliance with the RN) would obtain from 132 to 152 seats.
The Les Républicains party, for its part, would win between 57 and 67 seats."
Let's see how it goes.
We'll have the first results of the French legislative election in 5 hours. On the off chance that someone who reads this is still on the fence, go vote for whichever candidate isn't RN.

So, Gabriel Attal somehow took a clear-ish position against the far-right. Truly, we live in an age of miracles.
The Prime Minister said that not one vote should go to the RN. In circonscriptions where their candidate is third, they should quit in favor of "another candidate who, like us, defends the values of the Republic".
This is, overall, good news. The government has managed to talk about the far-right without making any references to what they call the far-left. What worries me is that they haven't clearly said that any NFP candidate is a better choice than an RN candidate.
Candidates have until Tuesday to confirm their candidacy. I truly hope that everyone will keep it together for a week, eat crows and desist when necessary, and that on Sunday we will achieve the best result possible, which is mediocre.
Mediocre is better than far-right. Many can survive mediocre who couldn't survive far-right. Final verdict is next Sunday, and until then, everyone, good luck and goodnight.
So while we wait to see how low we've slid on this slippery slope, I thought I'd give a primer on how legislative elections work in France.
The first thing to know is that it's more like 577 local elections. In order to be elected, a candidate has to win in the circonscription in which they were campaigning.
The second thing to know is that in order to win on the first round of the election, a candidate must have at least 50% of the votes AND 25% of those registered. This means that if, as has happened in La Martinique, a candidate has 63% of the votes but the turn-out was low (estimated around 25%, which is low but higher than it was in the last election), they still get a second round.
Now, for the second round. Are qualified 1. The candidate who had the most votes and 2. Any candidate that had 12,5% of those registered to vote. Once again, this means that the turn-out is a factor in who gets to participate in the second round. It also means that it is possible for a second round to have a "triangulaire", that is to say 3 candidates in the second round (technically, it means that it's possible to have four candidates).
At time of writing, it is estimated that between 65 and 85 representatives have been elected on the first round, and that there will be between 285 and 315 triangulaires (based on the data given by Le Monde, which is based on Ipsos data). Out of 577 seats. This means that in a lot of circonscriptions, there will most probably be one RN candidate, one NFP candidate and one candidate from the presidential party.
On the left, several political leaders have already announced that if their candidates arrived third and a RN candidate was qualified for the second round, they would give up the election and encourage people to vote for whoever else was qualified.
And now the big question: will the presidential party do the same? Gabriel Attal, the Prime Minister, is expected to talk to the press tonight. I, personally, will be drinking and obsessively refreshing the news page.
Gens de l'Aude, vous avez une chance d'avoir Poutou comme député. D'accord, c'est une petite chance, mais de ce que j'ai compris cette circonscription était considérée comme ingagnable.
Je dois dire j'y croyais pas.
Attal qui appelle au désistement quand Renaissance est 3ème !!! Qui appelle à voter contre le RN !!!! ENFIN !!!!

Well fuck.
For those who don't know, this doesn't mean that the RN has a majority in the Assembly. The system for legislative elections is particularly convoluted, and this is based on polls outside voting stations. Nevertheless, it's not a great sign.
We're all having a very normal election time.
La décennie du numérique.
Goddamn voting website is not working are you fucking kidding me

Ah ben tout à coup tout le monde veut débattre avec Mélenchon... Honnêtement j'ai un peu de mal à comprendre la logique, parce que j'ai pas l'impression qu'Attal ou Bardella soient de meilleurs orateurs. Est-ce que c'est pour sortir l'épouvantail Mélenchon (qui a, globalement, réussi à fermer sa gueule, ce que je peux pas dire de tout le monde, en particulier au PS) et faire peur à ceux qui votent PS mais trouvent que quand même, LFI va trop loin, c'est les extrêmes, toussa toussa ? Est-ce qu'ils espèrent pouvoir profiter de l'hostilité marquée des journalistes envers Mélenchon (qui, pour être honnête, le leur rend bien) ?
Bon perso je vais pas regarder de débats parce que ça m'insupporte et je vais voter Front Populaire de toute façon, mais je m'interroge.
