French Elections To Lead To Turmoil
Why should France, of all countries, be any different than the rest of the West? I think AP gets this right:
French leftists win most seats in elections, pollsters say. Lack of majority threatens turmoil
PARIS (AP) — A coalition on the left that came together unexpectedly ahead of France’s snap elections won the most parliamentary seats in the vote, according to polling projections Sunday. The surprise projections put President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance in second and the far right in third.
The lack of majority for any single alliance plunged France into political and economic turmoil. Final results are not expected until late Sunday or early Monday in the highly volatile snap election, which was called just four weeks ago in a huge gamble for Macron.
The deeply unpopular president lost control of parliament, according to the projections. Marine Le Pen’s far right drastically increased the number of seats it holds in parliament but fell far short of expectations.
No coalition is likely to have much in common among its members. This should end up as a very weak government. Just as will probably happen in the UK and Germany. Come to think of it, why should America be any different?
Maybe liberal democracy is simply a failed experiment. But what do we go back to? I shudder at the thought of going forward.
"The Democrats who want him to get out of the race think he's likely to lose badly. The Democrats who want him to stay in are afraid of the chaos that will result if he drops out and there's a fight over what happens next."

 The French recognized Israel's attempt to take control of France through Le Pen and punished her at the polls, again.
Officials in Israel's foreign ministry tell Haaretz that Diaspora Minister Chikli hurt relations with France by publicly backing Le Pen, and is working completely independently on cultivating ties with far-right parties in Europe.
The French expected a solution to the problem of illegal immigration, but instead they got a new attempt to control France by Israel, and a new wave of refugees from Palestine caused by Israeli bombings of civilians.
Le Pen has agreed with Netanyahu and the Israeli government to accept refugees from Palestine, in order for Israel to complete its ethnic cleansing. So she declared that her party is Zionist.
That is why the French showed her the way to Israel.
