When Emmanuel Macron dissolved the National Assembly, he sent France's political parties into a scramble to organise, shore up support, and form alliances within just three weeks. So, in this video, we're going to explain what's going on in France, and what this means for the election.

    as a french i think he was just frustrated and did the biggest mistake he could ever make, i fear that if the far right, or worse, the far left win a majority (which is unlikely for both and most likely no one win a majority) that the country is heading to bankruptcy

    I doubt it, it´s hard to get constitutional reforms done unless there is some consensus in favour. The FN want a more authoritarian state on the Victor Orban model, the left want to return to a parliamentary Republic like the fourth Republic. The Macronites want to keep the Gaullist constitution. What will happen if Marine Le Pen wins the presidency in 2027 is it will inevitably produce a constitutional crisis as much of what she wants to do is explicitly unconstitutional. She effectively wants to use a referendum to increase the presidency´s execuvtive powers (and they are already substantial in France!).

    The illusion of choice, it feels more like a trap. Voting for your fave might not be the best strategy depending on the outcome you wish for. I used to vote FOR someone, but the "choices" have been so terrible that you ended up choosing the best candidate to beat the one you hate the most, or the least crappy one that has a chance to really win. You can't not vote, because it'd give other voters more power, you can't just "vote away" and waste it, and protest votes do not count. You know this ballot is important and all you can do is motivate people who are disillusioned by our biased elective process to just vote. Also voting at the start of Summer, just as people leave after a year of being fucked left and right, is a guarantee of a low turnout. I hope I'm wrong.

    Not really. But, well, quiet a lot is happening, so it's hard to catch it all accurately (especially with the opponents accusing each other). Two examples : 1. Ciotti is not the ex-leader, he still is the head of the LR. While big-shots of the LR oppose his decision and tried to oust him, the vote was in an illegal manner (they didn't even check who was voting, the vote was counted as "all those who are silent are for" and those who spoke up were shut down with no debate). He has support from many LR militants and many rightwing voters want a rightwing alliance. 2. Marion Marechal didn't defect of the RN, she left political life for several years before coming back to a party that was closer to her views. And, she didn't ask the voters to support the RN, but the national union (lead by the RN), which was the objective of her party (to form a right wing union). I haven't arrived at the leftwing shenanigans yet so don't know if they will be accurate or not.

Normally, justice should end up validating Ciotti's suspension because he did not respect the statutes of the LR which specified that there would be no alliances with the RN.

    La Jeune Garde is a violent Antifa mob group, which somehow managed to get included in the Popular Front alliance, as if it was some minor political party. And its leader, who is a Hamas apologist and literally surveilled by police as a potential terror threat, was nominated to be the official Popular Front candidate in a winnable district. Bit crazy. I remind you that this alliance goes up to the very moderate center left including former President Hollande.

    So many questions, maybe somebody here can answer them: 1. Isn't there a minimum electoral campaign length? Three weeks between calling the elections and the first round seems like a short time for alliances to be made, campaigns to be organized, leaflets to be printed and so on. 2. I know the French President can dissolve the Nation Assembly, but it is the Government that organizes the elections. So why was Macon allowed to set the dates of the elections? 3. In some countries with a presidential system, the President cannot be involved in political debate while in office. By default, he resigns his statute as a party member. Why isn't this the case in France? Does it go back to the establishment of the Fifth Republic and de Gaulle's demands? Thanks

    the two votes for the assembly must be between 20 and 40 days after the dissolution is announced (09/06) so the choice of when is limited by that time frame For the third question he can participate in the sense of ''defending '' the party program but cannot organise a debate between himself and the opposition Macron can say '' hey you shloud really vote for the guy in your city who represent Renaissance'' bc it helps him, if he loose the elections he will have to choose a prime minister from the winning party even if it's not his wich we call ''cohabitation'' (it happenned twice in 65 years) Tldr: there's two options 1- Macron party wins the elections and reinforce their power to vote laws etc 2- far right or left coalition wins and Macron has to appoint a PM from said winner party (cohabitation)
