The French parliamentary elections were held Sunday and delivered a surprising result for Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National party. The RN won 89 seats, far beyond what would be needed (15 seats) to have a consequential impact in the assembly.
FRANCE – […] The results would severely tarnish Mr. Macron’s April presidential election victory where he defeated the far-right to be the first French president to win a second term in over two decades.
The expected number of seats for Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National (90) amounts to a historic breakthrough. Only once under the Fifth Republic had the far right passed the threshold to form a group in the Assemblée (15 MPs), which allows for certain parliamentary resources and prerogatives.
The only time this happened was in 1986, when Ms. Le Pen’s father Jean-Marine Le Pen led a group of Front National MPs for two years. They were elected in the only ever legislative elections using proportional representation.
[…] Falling short of the majority forces Mr. Macron into tricky partnerships with other parties on the right to force through legislation. There could now potentially be weeks of political deadlock as the president seeks to reach out to new parties. The most likely option would be an alliance with Les Republicans LR.
[T]he number two of far-right leader Marine Le Pen, Jordan Bardella, hailed her party’s performance as a “tsumani.” (read more)
“The Macron adventure has reached its end,” Le Pen said. The group of National Rally MPs “will be by far the biggest in the history of our political family.” As a result, RN will be able to easily form a parliamentary group, which allows for more influence and speaking time.
Vive le RN! Et vive Le Pen!
The Yellow Vests made an impact after all! Let us learn from this.
Merveille! Les gilets jaunes vivent!
Vive les gilets jaunes!
WOW !!!!
Thank you for the good news!
Exactly my sentiments!
I like people who don’t play well with others … they want results while “the others” like the perks of power and ruling those they view as lesser beings … let Le Pen kick some serious … you know what …
Been rooting for Marine for years. This is a great morale booster!
She beat Macron head to head. Her ballots were spoiled.
Yes, over 4 million spoiled.
She is the rightful president of France.
Any talk of that in France? I was wondering if there was tampering in that election. I’m suspicious of everything now. The last Canadian election as well.
2022’s second round recorded 805,249 void ballots and 2,233,904 blank for a total of 3,039,153 invalid ballots; 13,655,861 abstained from voting. Note Le Pen was 5,479,953 votes behind Macron. https://www.conseil-constitutionnel.fr/decision/2022/2022197PDR.htm

Consider that democracy always was a con—an illusion of power, where the bourgeoisie claimed power in the name of ‘the People’ but were simply displacing the aristocracy as a permanent political class.
I was wondering if they rigged the big election, then laid off the next thinking people would have given up.
Thrilled to hear the French haven’t given up and are still fighting for national sovereignty and saving their country and culture.
I was wondering about that.
Me too.
I hope she makes life miserable for Macron.
He’s got it coming.
In French I believe it is….Derrière !!!!
Cul. Actually. And an a-hole is <<un trou de cul>>.
lol “LR” “Lesseur Republicans” I feel like it’s what we have here most of the time…more like “Leftist RINO’s”

Absent, he was a character understood,
Present, he was a force respected.

I am 65, and I have begun praying that I will, at least, not out-live democracy.
The leftists, call them center-left, like Trudeau or Macron or Obama, do not see any moral reason for tolerating dissent. The welfare state is the juggernaut that justifies all abuses of civil rights and liberties.
Trudeau was elected (a minority government!) and this somehow justifies him confiscating the property of free-born Canadians.
Leftism is a return to feudalism. You are not free if the State feeds you. The fundamental dissent represented by Marie Le Pen will not be tolerated. The welfare state means you are not free.
The next great revolution in thinking, in the world, will revolve around this question.
“Trudeau was elected (a minority government!) and this somehow justifies him confiscating the property of free-born Canadians.”
It is the same situation in Germany. The coalition government there includes the Green Party. Despite being only the fourth-largest party in the Bundestag the Greens are driving the national deindustrialization policies because they formed a coalition government.
Almost none of the representative governments in the West are ruled by a majority party; in my opinion that includes the US. These destructive policies are being forced through by minority governments.
Revolutions, from America to France to Russia, are usually driven by a vanguard.
Communists regard this as moral and enlightened.
We are overdue, in my opinion, for a conservative minority movement forcing through their viewpoint. The gun rights people are passionate but diffuse at this point. Singing the praises of the magical powers of the Second Amendment is now comical, but it could easily become a major force.
America’s population is ageing. As the great Mark Steyn often argues, demographics is a most overlooked force within society.
Feels like the parent movement is gaining steam, taking on CRT and the sexualization of kids. If the GOP can tap into that a bit it might help move things along. Glenn Youngkin was helped by it.
Conservative minority my butt. The conservatives have a decent majority now, after the leftists have so overplayed their stolen, weak hand. The tide is turning.
Whether a parliamentary system, or a Republic, whatever the existing system is, they “game” it.
This is because,…
Whether in the marketplace of goods and services, or the marketplace of ideas, Conmunists can NOT compete, so they must cheat.
CCP’s various “trade practices”, dumping, i.p theft, etc are because they can not compete, on a level playing field; their products are crap, so they have to dump to force competition out of the market, and they have to steal ip theft, cause any home grown innovators are sitting in a human organ donor bank,, i.e. “politica prisoners”.
Globalism is just the newest attempt at cheating and will eventually fail.
They can never ever win on an even playing field, that’s why censorship, intimidation, assassination, and lies are the communists tactics.
Communism is totally built on lies. They can’t even exist without lies
SINCE…..1917…..
Stealth is the basic premise: war be subversion.
Good point.
What we’ve been doing would have been like presenting an elegantly written petition to Genghis Kahn as he is rampaging through the streets of your walled city.
And we have helped them all the way, since Clinton.
Globalization is the euphemism for international cabal.
That was meant to be “international criminal cabal.”
That’s how Bennett ousted Netanyahu. Good news is the leftists will always start infighting. The uneasy “power-sharing” coalition is falling apart and Netanyahu may yet take back his rightful seat.
Netanyahoo is the corrupt Capo de tutti capo of the Khazarian mafia. He is corrupt to the bone. Your empathies just might be displaced. Then again..maybe not. Depends who you are rooting for.
he is wishy/washy opportunist….no better than…cornyn/crenshaw…..
Old but good article. Worth a read.

Could this be the start of the people’s revolution!
The EU elites dropped a Ukrainian millstone in the European pond. This is one ripple which may be a harbinger of future tsunamis.
Boris Johnson (UK) and Gerhard Schroeder (Germany) are themselves on political life support. Several Eastern European governments are supposedly teetering as well.
Olaf Scholz is chancellor of Germany at the moment, Gerhard Schroeder was the chancellor pre Angela Merkel. But Olaf Scholz’ coalition government is struggling.
It does not help us over here that we are stuck with a foreign minister with the intellectual capacity of Heels Up.
Irony is that only recently the German parliament tried to strip Gerhard Schroeder of his privileges because of his close relationship with Russia!
Thanks for correcting my Deutsch dyslexia.
You are a little behind the times, methinks. Schroeder hasn’t been in German Gov. since 2005.
He went to work for a Russian gas company, n’est-ce pas?
Pride month…LOL
WHAT A LOVEBIRDS….hmmmmm
The Rassemblement National Party’s platform was written by Le Pen 🙂
Avec un stylo avec style!
I believed when Macron “won” that it was rigged. And I believe this news matches with that.
Like Brandon, selected, not elected.
Yes. The people hate him. He actually only got 28% of the vote but did some shenanigans to make sure he got more than anyone else. One story said that they tore the edge of Le Pen’s ballots to get them rejected.
This is almost pure proof it was rigged.
This is almost pure proof it was rigged. There are too many elections in the general assembly to overturn through fraud, but in the race for the presidency it is just one race to overturn.
Good point. It is so horrible all of these countries including ours having unelected tyrants who do everything to work against the people instead of helping them.
We don’t need no stinkin government to help us. We just need freedom.
True–Freedom FROM government control.
Yes, very great news indeed!~
Thank goodness!
Congratulations from the U.S. So happy for the citizens!
No more complete majority for Macron 🥰
Great news! Makes me wonder how she lost…..or did she….
Then how the hell did she lose the race for the Presidency?
I guess we can ask the same people who installed Brandon.
So Macron will be a lame duck President. Does it raise questions about the “accuracy” of the presidential election?
Great news!
But Macron didn’t win
Macron didn’t win.
Trudue didn’t win.
Brandon didn’t win.
And Epstein didn’t suicide.
All accurate statements.
Le Pen is mightier than the Soros!
Good one.
well played
God bless!!
You win a war, one battle at a time, and you win a battle by taking and holding territory, one foot at a time.
Macron won the top seat, but now he’s lost significant high ground.
Good for him, can’t stand these WEF’er pod people.
It would be great if the Canucks could hobble Castros misbegotten

This document is wonderful. It should give us all hope. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Unelected bureaucrats from the EU are destroying its member states with agenda driven dictates. Therein lies the problem.
Meanwhile, Macron sends more troops to Romania where, as he says, ‘a European Army’ is being built…

“Sous-Marin(e) et couler les Mondialistes!”
For those still sitting on the fence…..can you see it yet? Can you?
This, this win by a grassroots party in France which completely changes the Parliement, is exactly why GA, NM, PA, and other states are trying so hard to hold onto the voting machines and non-legislatively approved voting mandates they illegally planted in their states. They know what’s coming thus they need mules, manipulated machines, lop-sided poll watching, and courts to ignore the rule of law.
Now you know why they ignore “2000 Mules” and call it the “big lie.” They need the cheating because they know without it, this fall is a disaster for them. A disaster that is just starting. But, don’t worry folks- everywhere they protected their built in steal aids (machines, mail-in ballots, no signatures needed, illegals can vote, and 24-hour drop boxes- now with what appears to be cameras that no longer work- unlike 2020) they will be protected again.
Drop Boxes are irrelevant Dwayne.
Which State are you in?
Presumably Patriots will be organizing armed patrols at all Drop Boxes to prevent Ballot Trafficking.
Have you organized the armed patrols for all the Drop Boxes in your State Dwayne? If not – WHY NOT?
Because the left will take your azz to court for voter intimidation if you stake out their precious vote stealing boxes while armed. Don’t do that. Stake them out with live streaming video PV style and record as well the shenanigans in real time and for posterity. Have a lawyer on speed dial to get an injunction or a stay.
Armed groups prowling around “legal” polling places like “authorized” drop boxes is asking for trouble. There are better ways to get these bustids.

Viva la France.
How is it that Macron is elected but a little more than a month later is delivered a more than resounding electoral defeat?
In the same way that the mid-term elections somehow fell into place for the left in 2018 in the swing states just as it became clear the Trump would be a successful president both at home and abroad.
Impossible to win the game when the plate umpire is the father of one of the pitchers.
because -white shirts piggies- did steal election from Marine-Go Marine Go !!!!
It’s great but, (French) Swamp optics. This should settle down the Yellow Vests they (WEF) hope while Klaus’s installed demon child Macron can finish off France with his “pen and his phone”.
Looks like “they” were able to cheat Macron in, but couldn’t overcome the populace at the parliamentary level! Vive la France!

Please, God, let this be yet another sign of Divine Intervention and a turning of the tide.
Sorry for so many posts this morning, but I ran across another bit of news along the same lines is from the Epoch Times this morning. Texas has declared that Joe Biden was not legitimately elected! Go TEXAS!
https://www.theepochtimes.com/texas-gop-passes-resolution-declaring-biden-not-legitimately-elected_4543841.html?utm_source=ref_share&utm_campaign=copy&rs=SHRDJNQS&
Coalitions and compromise. That’s how it is intended to work.
BTW, in France the National Assembly has a term limit of 5 years. Something we need here.
Some good news! The NWO fat lady has not sung!
An era where the common sense, patriotic citizens who simply want to be left alone become “the far right.”
Thatcher was smart to throw it back in their faces by accurately calling her opposition “the loony left” whenever she could.
Macron is a lame duck
will Marine roast this a duck ?????
Is this result a harbinger of our November elections? I wondered how it was that Macron was able to be reelected when it seemed so implausible at the time. Now these local elections and Macron will be “tarnished” as written in this article. Or as jaded that I have become over elections across the world, did Macron really win or has the cheat been perfected and we have no chance of taking Congress in November?
The timing of Macron losing his majority control of Parliament is perhaps of greater importance than we know right now.
The CIA/State Department/WEF puppet politicians in Lithuania (a NATO member) just cut off most railway transportation in and out of Kaliningrad, in violation of a 30 year old treaty with Russia.
They continue to prod the Russian bear.
The Saker blog has much analysis of this potentially suicidal (for the US) move.
Monkeywerx has tracked the movement of troops, assets, and materiel into the European theater for months now. The stage is set.
It is almost as if the people who have run the world for the last 80 years deliberately left in place a lot of tripwires (Korea, Taiwan, Kaliningrad, Pakistan) that would enable control of key continents either through fear of war or through deliberately triggering
an actual war, including, especially, nuclear war.
But can they get their war as easily with a hobbled Macron?
Her party won lots of seats but she lost? The cat remains suspicious.
This paragraph might be of interest: France is still quite Socialist/Communist!
“NUPES, the united left under Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is set to get 149 – 200 lawmakers, according to the pollsters, a strong progression from five years ago. The center-right Republicans and their allies are set to get 60 – 80.
Unlike in 2017, the left-wing parties formed an alliance before the election, agreeing on sharing electoral districts so as to avoid competing against each other in the election.
The result means three of the four main parties (La France Insoumise, the Socialists, and the Greens) will each be able to form their own group. But the Communists, who are estimated at 13 seats, risk losing theirs. Conservative party Les Républicains (LR) are expected to win 75 seats, down from 101 in the previous legislature. But it is a significant improvement from the presidential election, when their candidate Valérie Pécresse scored 4.78%.”
So the Leftists are in fact stronger than before. They simply do not like Macron. So the French have choices among (so to speak) Trotsky, Mao, Lenin, Stalin, or someone decent.
See:

Does anyone REALLY believe that Macron actually won his second term? The US is obviously not the only country where the deep state manipulates elections.
I do – The French have been a Dirigiste country since 1789 and they like it that way. Their bien pensant populce by and large do not like the US or the UK much and detest “cowboy” capitalism. They are way more “woke” than we are.
I do like Laurent Obertone and wish his books were translated into English.
Exceptional news for the French people. Macron’s power and influence, is greatly diminished.
patriotic nationalism is far right? it has not moved in decades. it is the Jonestown maoist left that has moved.
looks like any western parties who are right of current -socialists/commies/trotskysts/globalists whores are faaar rifght…..
This doesn’t surprise me. The lztge cities, mainly Paris, supported Macron. The countryside is much more nationalist overall and don’t like the EU. Glad to see this
Large, darn phone. I can’t type lol.
I’m glad they won more seats. I hate how everything is far right, but you will never see far left.
Ugh. Everything slightly to the right of Stalin is considered to be ” far right” by the media scum. I’m so damned sick of these lying scum bags. They have blood all over their filthy hands.
In Canada at least half the Parliament belong to Klaus Schwab and the Global World Leaders club.
