After his party’s defeat in the July elections, Macron must decide who to nominate for prime minister.

The NFP, particularly the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI), has demanded for their right to form a government. The party argued that since it won the most seats, it should pick the new prime minister. It has chosen Lucie Castets, 37, as its candidate.

However, Macron’s party, along with the conservatives and the far right, have promised to vote no confidence in a left-wing government.

      This. If you actually want positive change, go out and join a socialist org to take direct action. In capitalist states — specially imperial core ones — elections are just an ad campaign that won’t bring any positive change for workers on its own.

      Elections will, however, gradually shift to the far-right as long as liberals/capitalists are in power (see: overton window).
