Yep no surprise there. This is a failure of the left. I am not sure how many times this is going to happen before they realise.
What I cant work out as my knowledge of French politics isnt extensive, is Macron being brave or foolish? Joseann?

DH told me the EU was moving towards the Right even before he died.
Despite being 100% European and no Brexiteer he didn’t think they were the right star to hitch our waggon to.

Macron’s just called a snap election as his Renaissance party’s results were so dire. They polled 15%. Le Pen 32%. She says “We are ready to lead”.
