2024 Election - Thread #1

[nemonowan]

On to France, where the snap election there produced unclarity, with a leftist coalition coming out on top despite a surge in right populists.  Also, being typical leftists, they don't even like to work with each other, they just hate the populists more.  The right is very mad that the left is better at tactical voting than they are.  With the coalitions having a rough approximation of one-third of the seats each, I'd not be surprised to see another election in the next few months.

Maybe sooner that you think. 
Macron is breaking tradition and refusing to nominate a new Prime Minister from the candidates that NFP submitted. He instead has left his old PM in place and is calling for a new "mainstream coalition" to form (around his own party) and submit a new PM (from his own party). And his main allies are saying that there is no rush to name a new PM and that it can wait until September after the Olympic Games have passed.
