    Isn’t this making it worse really? How about France starts accepting democracy for better or worse, and let it’s People choose for once.

      Probably

      How about France starts accepting democracy for better or worse, and let it’s People choose for once.

      I agree with you. Problem is that if they had followed the results of the last elections, now Le Pen would be part of the govern, and that was not acceptable by the Left.
      So what they did after the first round was to put together all the parties that had as unique common point “Marie Le Pen / the Right wing should not win”, like the Left in Italy do too much often.
      And like in Italy yes, they won and let the people choose, but like in Italy they started fighting amongst themselves the minute after the victory.

      So now France have a big problem: the parties that win the election are not able to create a durable and credible govern because they have nothing in common if not the fear that for the Front National and they are afraid to go to new election exactly because they are afraid, rightly, that this time the Front Nationale (or any other Right wing party) will win. And to them they are the wrong people.

        It’s just very destructive for a democracy, not accepting there is 30% of your People with another vision than your own.

        It’s like in germany. The parties keep trying to silence AFD but what they actually are doing is just making them more popular, because AfD can then say: “Look, where is the democracy and voices of the People, the government doesn’t care about your voices.”

          I agree. And the problem is that the Left is not realizing it, they seems to think that if they somehow silence the messenger then the problem goes away
