I thought about using just the graph, but I know that would confuse Americans. Especially the crowd who thinks that the Democrats are somehow the party of the "left".
Are you in for a shock if you belong that that group.
Above the purple on the left end of this graph is PCF, which is Parti Communiste Français. LFI is
Rassemblement national, which is what was once known as the National Front. And is pretty extreme right.
I mean, Europe did have fascism. Soooo. And I'm learning about something called Operation Gladio.
And there are 14 other parties in between!
I have to admit that true multiparty democracy is a lot confusing, even if you are a fan. So, I can't get too deep into this, but it was not a victory for the far left. It also wasn't a victory for the far right. This is because neither party had a majority. This means that there will either have to be a coalition, or a new election. The government will function, which is what an "executive" branch should do: make sure things tick along.
But, yes. I do support this even if there are extreme parties and run off elections, but at least there are parties which represent the people. There is also a need to work together for the common good.
