Macron wins shock vote to keep coalition hopes alive

Emmanuel Macron’s party formed a last–minute agreement with right-leaning lawmakers to win a key vote in parliament on Thursday that opens the door to the French president playing a greater-than-expected role in forming the country’s next government.

The two political groups put together an ad-hoc alliance to reelect Yaël Braun-Pivet as head of the French National Assembly, the fourth highest-ranking official in France. The vote was widely seen as a test to see who could work together in France’s fractured parliament to name a future prime minister.

In combining their forces, the centrists and the center right seized political momentum while also delivering a stunning blow to their rivals further to the left.

Wow. Just wow. I shouldn’t be surprised, but I’m nonetheless amazed that they’d rather flee into the arms of the far right fascists than try to work with the left. Incredible.

I can’t find the interview, but a week or so ago, a Democrat congressman admitted that Joe Biden didn’t gain the Democrat nomination in 2020 because he was the best choice to beat Donald Trump. He won the nomination because he was the best choice to beat Bernie Sanders.

There are genuine, good-faith moderate centrist voters, but at the higher levels of government, there aren’t any good-faith, genuine moderate centrist politicians. They work for their wealthy donors, and they know it.

Funny how quickly liberals will jump into the right’s arms just so they won’t need to hurt the interests of their rich owners by entering a coalition with the left.

Centrists are just right-wingers at the end of the day.

And extremists are just extremists at the end of the day.

Deciding that you’re too good for centrists is the same thing as deciding that you never want to accomplish anything politically. You’re all talk and no practice.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The two political groups put together an ad-hoc alliance to reelect Yaël Braun-Pivet as head of the French National Assembly, the fourth highest-ranking official in France.

The vote was widely seen as a test to see who could work together in France’s fractured parliament to name a future prime minister.

In combining their forces, the centrists and the center right seized political momentum while also delivering a stunning blow to their rivals further to the left.

The dramatic vote came just 11 days after the New Popular Front (NFP), a broad alliance of left-wing parties, secured a surprise victory in this summer’s snap election, winning the most seats but falling far short of an outright majority.

The conservatives have publicly rejected the prospect of an outright coalition with the pro-Macron camp, but they have steadily signaled their openness to finding common ground on policy — putting forward a “legislative package” focused on policies aimed at “better recognizing work and restoring authority.”

The alliance’s bickering and infighting prevented it from rallying behind a single candidate for prime minister, and even agreeing on Chassaigne — a congenial and well-respected parliamentarian — required negotiations that lasted until the day before the vote.
