In his heart yes, but circunstances have forced his hand to do otherwise

France Post-Election Prediction: The NFP won't get their preferred prime minister because Macron will stonewall them and try to get one of his handpicked guys in, the NFP concedes by letting a guy tory from the neoliberal socialist party (which is the second largest party in the coalition people moderate your expectations please) be prime minister, which macron would likely be ok with, this means that the NFP won't actually be able to implement half of that program everybody is praising beause there's no way Hollande's fucking party is going to do price controls of all things. Sooner or later, citing a need for governability, the socialists will split from Melenchon and the NFP and join Macron and the Gaullist right, which between the 3 of them they have enough seats to govern, maybe the greens too.

Either that or Macron governs with the far-right.

That being said forming the NFP was probably the right decision since there was so little time to mount an electoral campaign, but as to whether these election results constitute a big W or a w it's still too soon to tell, especially since this coalition (NUPES) collapsed before due to internal disagreements that can't really be solved

You can't be a comprador if america doesn't want to buy you out in the first place, by the end of it washington was absolutely favorable to fatah and found a good way to appropriate them, that's not the case with iran regardless of who is in charge, it's politically impossible for any american administration to negotiate with iran unless the iranians drop every single demand and just say "we will do everything you want", in which case Pezeshkian would just be replace by someone less stupid.

Him being pro-west might not matter anyway because America is too arrogant to accept overtures anyway?

This, he'll try to reach over and get shot down regardless of who wins in november

it is, I forgot the f and just said pc, but it's the 4th largest party and it will only get 10-12 MPs, doesn't have much weight as shown by that program

Center left neoliberals (your modern socdems) are the second largest party in the coalition, the first are left populists based around the celebrity character of Melenchon, the 3rd are green eurocucks and 4th are the old school communists, then there's a sputtering of center to left parties

The NPF isn't so much "the french left" as it is the french left (pc and lfi) with eurocuck greens and center left neoliberals (second largest member), it doesn't shock me that stuff like nato and ukraine aren't even on the table as discussable topics

Le Pen means "The Pen"

Also the center-left neoliberal socialist party is the 2nd largest member of the coalition (and it's not far from first place) and I'm extremely skeptical they actually want to pass everything in that program

Have you played armored core 6? Ha I don't think so

Pretty sure I know this clip and he doesn't say "lust" (don't even know if there's a good portuguese equivalent) he says "tesão" which means boner. He's said it before

I doubt it will get better in a way that you and I may enjoy since most people seem to love the way it plays
