From welfare chauvinism to value-based nationalism – a breakdown of what constitutes a ‘far right’ group.
Data show that many people who consider themselves ‘global citizens’ also harbor strong national sentiments. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
Everyone has forgotten there were almost as many asylum seekers in Europe in the early 1990s as today.
Many French voters seems willing to give the new president and his party, La République en Marche, a broad mandate, even if they didn’t initially support him.
France’s new En Marche! party is on track to win 400 legislative seats, another victory for the country’s young president.
Despite being widely tipped as the next leader of the Front National, the young deputy is dropping out.
Victory for Emmanuel Macron is a blow for the far right, but there are lessons to be learnt for 2022.
Macron’s win showed France is internationalist, outward looking, pro-EU and free market-oriented; Le Pen’s rise revealed that it’s also nationalist, protectionist, anti-EU and suspicious of outsiders.
Being president of France won’t be easy for Emmanuel Macron. Without the support of an established political party, his legislative agenda may go nowhere fast.
France’s new president is just 39-years-old and started his own political movement barely a year ago. So how did he do it?

It all comes down to how many people abstain.
When Jean-Marie Le Pen made it to the second round in 2002, France was in a very different mood.
Both Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron have gained from the very deep disaffection of the French electorate with its traditional political representatives.
A survey shows that candidates who exploited populism in one way or the other during the first round of the French presidential election captured about half of the vote.
It might look like an odd move, but quitting your party in the middle of a presidential election plays into a particular myth that might appeal to voters.
