How French voters prevented a far-right majority

A political scramble in France to thwart the rise of right-wing politicians seems to have worked, but the country's parliament is at a virtual standstill. Angela Charlton, Western Europe news director for the Associated Press, joins CBS News to discuss what's next for the French government.

Wanting a National identity is considered far right these days....Seems "French" is a dirty word in France.

Welcome to the era of Islamic French State😅

[timothycahill]

Uh oh, there goes another French Republic 🇫🇷

[kirshak]

French have been lost years ago, let be France be an example what will happen if you allow far left to have total power

[Puzekat]

You’re just guessing that the parliament is at a standstill it just formed. When did you become opinion news?

[NightimeInDeepSpace]

If you don't recognize there is a far left there is no far right.

[SkepticalChris]

France uses a dual election system where there are effectively two elections for the same thing to guarantee a higher plurality.

By Far Right they mean "common sense"

[robertjohnson]

Four parties come together in a second round of voting lmao what a joke

[aniakrysia]

French voters chose anti-semitism and socialism. There is such a thing as far-left….But of course, all news will never talk about the extremism that comes with the far-left because they are extremists themselves.

Now if only the Americans will be this smart…? 🤔

[brushandshovel]

As soon as you hear journalists use the words "far right" you know they are far left!

[consciouslyaware]

They weren’t far right, you just called them that to discredit them!

France : good at bread. next breadlines

[lavenberry]

It would be great to have more options than far left or far right for those of us that are independent and like good policies. Where women can be women again and treated like adults. Where taxpayers money can be spent on citizens. A comprehensive immigration bill that citizens want. Where people have representation instead of people who want to rule them.

Vote blue, and keep the Maga cult out of power!
