An interesting article to read.
The thing I don't get is this chat about the failure of the left.
They secured almost 1⁄5 of the vote. Almost exactly the same as the centre right and only c.2% less than Le Pen.
In a society where the vote seems to be fairly evenly split between; left, centre, centre right, extreme right, it seems pretty reasonable to expect the majority and the country to be run by the centre ground rather than the radical left or the radical right.
(obvs i get it's meant to be provocative)
