Some good news to start the day.

@aral

Brought about because the various left factions got together to make sure the right didn't win.

@aral I am so relieved. As a French citizen, this was a pretty horrifying week, with a surprisingly delightful conclusion.
@thelinuxEXP Ditto 💕

Trito (what ever the right response is for "me three!")
@thelinuxEXP @aral can't be too satisfied looking at the popular vote numbers 🫠

@phonon @thelinuxEXP Yeah, but still… could have been far worse.

(Can still be in as soon as a year if the neoliberals see this as a victory and keep with business as usual instead of seeing it as a last minute aversion of disaster.)

@aral @thelinuxEXP best outcome possible given the predictions. But yeah.... Desperately need real change to prevent further progression..
@aral The far right increasing their share of seats from 88 to 143 isn’t good news, it’s just news that isn’t as bad as was predicted a week ago.

@aral eigentlich hervorragende News … im Detail betrachtet aber doch ernüchternd

Man muss schon sehr wenig Ahnung vom Mehrheitswahlsystem in Frankreich haben um das als Linksrutsch zu interpretieren. 1- "nur" (?) 143 klar rechte Abgeordnete (von 577) haben in ihrem Wahlbezirk mehr als 50% der Stimmen erreicht. 2- die anderen haben zum Teil nur sehr knapp verloren - in der Stichwahl sind Teilweise ü 40% der Stimmen an die Rechtsextremen gegangen.

@aral
glad it happened despite our catastrophic medias spreading shit here, pushed by far right billionaires.

finally the France of progress is coming out

@aral a big relief and a ray of light in these dark times. Love you cousins 🇮🇹💕 🇫🇷
@aral also, hasn't Iran just voted a pretty decent dude as a president?
@msx Haven’t had a chance to read up but I saw the headlines say he’s progressive so 🤞
