There’s going to be consolidation on the left before the second round, so not sure that the victory of the Right is inevitable.

The left has already coalesced as the New Popular Front which consists of Green Party communists.
Ensemble or Together party is Macron centrist coalition. They don’t have anything in common with the communists except for their mutual hatred of Le Pen and National Rally.

My friend said:
This is good news. The “center-left” will band together, continue to allow more immigration and Islam, and the right will grow angrier and angrier and bigger and bigger.
The French election results showed that the “alliance of dishonour” between President Emmanuel Macron and the far left effectively blocked the populist National Rally from gaining a majority despite the Le Pen party having won the most votes.

Too bad RN aligned with Putin, they could have instead allied themselves with Macron’s center and governed.
The issue was immigration. Every party supported the status quo in immigration. Only RN wanted to close the border and deport

There was no friggin’ way that Macron was going to team up with Le Pen. Muh Russia collusion has nothing to do with this.
