Marine le pen will win it's inevitable. The entirety of europe is tired of illegals and those who speak up get called as a wacist she's far right on immigration but in anything else she's left centrist
The entirety of Europe is turning right because of mass migration of low skilled people that wreak havoc and hog welfare

Personally, I'll vote for the RN but I think that the political position doesn't matter : as long as the president tries his best, the country will obviously grow up. Nevertheless, Mélechon is an arrogant person, who calls hate and destruction at each time a piece of the population demonstrates. He won't be good president but good actor of the fall of France.

Nice analysis, but the main conclusion is that, yes, 2027 is faaar away from now, many changes could occur.
One of the blind spot of the video is the left alliance for the legislative elections, which reshaped the landscape and the power dynamics for hegemony on the left wing.
@Fab807
March 1, 2024 at 10:19 am
My opinion is that Le Pen is likely to become the next president and here is why.
1/the left is imploding because of Melenchon and his party. They are trying to capitalize on support from French from projects and from foreign origin. The way they are going about it is creating fatal divergences.
2/ le Pen is becoming mainstream. It used to be shameful to vote for her party. She has transformed her father’s party into a populist party with real propositions and they are working hard to have a deep bench.
3/ 60% of France is center-right.
In 2022, le Pen lost 41% to 58% with 28% abstention. To close the gap, le Pen needs 10% more which is only 7% with abstention at 30%. Knowing that Macron can’t run and his party is divided, it is likely that she has an open field. Especially if she continues to manage her communication the way she does.

As long as it's not someone from the stupid la France Insoumise or the Rassemblement National, two political stupid destroyers, one by racism, the other one by rich discrimination, they would simply both run down the french economy, not that the traditional parties do a good job anyway, but nothing as bad as compared to what the harmful nightmare the LFI would do or the nefarious RN.

Apparently, according to some people, Castex (the previous prime minister) would also run for the elections. Because when people ask Emmanuel Macron "who would be your ideal successor ?" his description reminds the one of Castex. But nowadays Castex is at the head of the RATP and seems to be indifferent.
