The NFP, particularly the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI), has demanded for their right to form a government. The party argued that since it won the most seats, it should pick the new prime minister. It has chosen Lucie Castets, 37, as its candidate.

However, Macron’s party, along with the conservatives and the far right, have promised to vote no confidence in a left-wing government.

Fucking Macron.

He thinks he's a stronghold against polarization. Well, this shit is why people flee to the far right and to the far left.

And treating the French left as a huge threat is plain bullshit. There are two groups who could legitimately feel threatened by the French left - billionaires, who would have to pay taxes to fund the public sector, and the French left itself, which is too incompetent to ever cooperate and would shoot itself in the foot within weeks.

Meanwhile, Macron keeps destroying the country while promoting himself as the second coming of centrist Christ. A conservative by any other name.
