He is not up for election until 2027. This means he is going to have a Prime Minster of the opposing party, and they are going to try to do everything they can to cut him off at the knees. The likely new Prime Minister is a 28 year old nut job. The guy swears he will not accept a coalition government, which means if his party doesn't win a 50% majority, then Macron could still form a government with his party and the far left party. They did not win 50% today, and there is still a good chance they won't. |

Sunak is next up today.
No idea who to root for but suspect US-UK relationship will stay relatively strong. Good luck to our BFF. Quote:

And also for Iran on Fri ...
I thought the article below was well written. The "reformer" vs "hardliner" with the reformer likely to win. But it's all relative so on a scale of 1-10 where 10 is very hardline extremist, we're talking about reformer (7) vs hardliner (9). Iran election: Iranians are voting in a presidential runoff. What will it mean for the world? | CNN Quote:

Imagine if we could do that to the Republican party here:

Don't get too optimistic. The Tories are going to move towards Farage and the Reform folks. The battle isn't won yet.

It's a landslide. Our new Prime Minister shaking hands with Elmo:
It's a landslide, a Tory massacre. You love to see it. |

In a sign of how bad this election went for the Conservatives, Dorking, which has been a Conservative/Tory seat since the late Victorian period (1885), flipped to the Lib Dems

412 seats and less than 34% of the vote.
Crazy.

FWIW. Maybe there's hope for some thawing. But assume it'll be a long road ... and longer with Trump in office. Quote:

Exit polls in France have the left winning, Macron in second, and the far-right in third. In general, it looks like Macron's gamble paid off.

It's the same old story, just with some drama.

It is going to be interesting how a government is going to be formed. The far-left party seems to be holding the same line as the far-right, that they won't accept a coalition government. Macron's party is hoping to form something with the Greens and coble together some kind of working coalition. The problem is the far-left joining the far-right on "lack of confidence" votes and keeping the government in constant flux.
