France: A left-wing coalition unexpectedly surged and the far-right National Rally fell short(lemmy.ml)

It makes those people more determined if anything, and it honestly doesn’t look like they’re far from the tipping point where a far right problem becomes a far right leadership.

But there’s 37% of the people who still want them to rule, and pushing them under the rug doesn’t make those people just go away.

Which means there are 60%+ who do not. That’s 37% of the far right coming together; why is it suddenly not okay when the NFP and their allies come together?

Except for second rounds a lot of voters could only chose between the RN and the left or the centre, so obviously there would be less votes for those overall. There was a first round before that and the percentage of votes was way closer
