Never thought I'd quote Faux "News", but this headline was simply too delicious to pass up, lol. Faux having to admit that the Brits, on the 4th of July, have finally had enough Conservative nonsense rammed down their throats.

Looks like the French may be able to reject their Nazis getting a majority, as well.

Overall, a good day for world Democracy. Let us hope our own country follows.

Amazing or not, it did my heart good to see the Torys kicked to the curb.

France's left-wing alliance is projected to be largest bloc in parliament in surprise result

In a surprise second-round result, the left-wing New Popular Front is projected to finish ahead of Marine Le Pen’s far-right party in French parliamentary elections, according to an IPSOS estimate following runoff elections.

The New Popular Front, comprised of 5 parties, is projected to win 172 to 192 seats. At least 289 seats are needed to secure an absolute majority.

President Emmanuel Macron’s party, Ensemble, is projected to be the second largest block with 150 to 170 seats, exceeding expectations.

Le Pen’s far-right National Rally will come a close third with between 132 and 152 seats, according to the projection, a significant increase from the 89 seats won in 2022.

Fingers crossed. Hard to imagine France being run by Nazis.

It only makes sense for France to be run by a wobbly coalition of goofy leftists and feckless technocrat centrists. It's always been thus (except Vichy, of course). Cue the Marseillaise and pass me bottle of vin rouge. Vive la France!
