Extremism be it far right or far left is never good for the country.
The media labeled her party far right for propaganda purposes. Far right or left has always been seen as a bad or pejorative term. They are just a regular moderate right party lol
Does anyone know of any English-language news sources that will have live coverage when the election results are announced tomorrow? Something I can watch online, even if a VPN is needed?
If people are stuck choosing between options that are all unreasonable in different directions the one not currently in power will always begin to seem more appealing as the one in power makes things more unreasonable in their direction. This is a problem of a left leaning government mismanageing things until an unreasonable right leaning party became a better alternative in the eyes of the people(or many of them)
All I have is a voice To undo the folded lie, The romantic lie in the brain Of the sensual man-in-the-street And the lie of Authority Whose buildings grope the sky: There is no such thing as the State And no one exists alone; Hunger allows no choice To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.
– W. H. Auden
“far right” is a political slur but I don’t think it will work this time. Le Pen is just a conservative.
We only believe in the political system as long as we’re in power.
If we’re not in power, then we riot.
(In other words, unless we get our way, we’re goung to cry.)

To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.
