First the good news. The political establishment of the EU and Netherlands have done what they could to prevent Geert Wilders and his PVV parties from taking office. Even so, Wilder's PVV will hold the immigration ministry, and may now do what Dutch voters want, stop mass immigration of assimilable illegal migrants.It is basically now or never for the Netherlands, and much of Western Europe.
However, in the second round of the French elections, Marcon and the Left cooperated to withdraw 218 candidates to make sure the anti-Le Pen vote was not split. The strategy worked as predicted, leading to the Leftist New Popular Front winning, Macron's party coming second, and Le Pen's National Rally coming third, after having won the first round. If the French system was not so strange, Le Pen would have taken office with the first round.
Monica Showalter at the American Thinker, says that the situation in France has gone from bad to worse, with the parliament split between three blocs, and further social chaos is set to arise:
"Now he's [macron] got left-wing crazies in his majority and has to answer to them, much as Britain must now answer to its Labour party far left based on its election last week. In each of those countries, the center did not hold.
Macron is going to have a tough time governing now that he's got radical leftists to deal with, over the conservatives led by Le Pen. And he will have no one to blame but himself, having attempted to manipulate the system by yanking his own candidates running for office, preferring the radical left over the populist right, which voters gave him.
What we are looking at here is a French version of Trump derangement syndrome in Europe, demonstrating the depths of contempt for ordinary voters held by the political elites.
It need never have happened, had he not panicked and called his snap election daring the voters once, and had he not tried to manipulate the vote again by pulling his own candidates from the second round, this never would have happened. But since he was too clever by half, he now gets the vast horde of leftists as his political bunkmates.
Couldn't happen to a nicer RINO who considers conservatives the most dangerous thing in the world.
Whatever happens now, France isn't going to like the result, any more than Britain is with its vote for Labour's radicals. Anything that's bad in France, whether of unchecked migration, migrant campouts befouling Paris, sexual assaults on women by these unassimilated foreigners, is simply going to get worse now. France's voters gave it to Macron all right when he pulled those centrists they were going to vote for, and voted left instead, giving it to Macron good and hard."
This will make things better for Le Pen in th next election, as France degenerates even more. The National Rally has continued to gain votes and next election even deals between centralists and Leftists may not be enough to steal the election. That assumes that civil war has not destroyed France in The meantime, as may now suppose: https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210427-french-generals-cause-backlash-with-civil-war-warning.
