Enable colorblind mode, it’s way easier to read, even if you aren’t
But it turns the NFP and independent left into the same colour, same for the independent center and macronist center. Or maybe I’m colorblindblind.
Hey, it’s just like an American city! All the right-wingers moved to the suburbs but probably still bitch about how unsafe Paris is.
The color choices are infuriating. How has nobody noticed that multiple sets of colors look near-identical, to the point you’re not even sure they’re a different color (they are)?
Clearly there are just 4 colors on the map, maybe you’re color blind.
<Checks legend> Maybe I’m color blind too?
For real tho, these are the worst color choices the website could have picked. My only assumption is that these are the party colors, made back in the day when only 1 color existed.
It makes some sense contextually.
Purple and light purple are “NFP (left)” and “not NFP (left)”. Socialists are traditionally red.
The two blues are “LR (right)” and “not LR (right)”. Liberals are traditionally blue.
Yellow are center-right neolibs.
The independent left/right seats don’t matter much because they will vote predictably with their political side on most issues, so since this will be a coalition Parliament there is not much point in outlining individual party affiliation (anyways the NFP is already a coalition of several parties).
I see dark magenta, pink, orange, and blue. Looks pretty distinct to me, though I saw some sites had a option to change the color to avoid issues for colorblind people.
It’s hard to believe that the left managed to wipe Macron’s ass. I hoped they would but I was skeptical.
I’m trying to figure out, as an American…. This means the left has control/will control parliament right? (I assume it’s going to come down to building a larger Coalition rather than outright control,)
Either way it makes me somewhat hopeful.
It probably means the prime minister will be a more moderate figure from the left that can work with centrists. They’ll horsetrade with the centrists over cabinet positions and policy priorities. You could imagine a deal where Macronists get foreign affairs posts (like Minister for Armed Forces and Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs) and the left gets domestic ones (like Minister of Labor, Minister for Health, etc.)
In reality, that’s way simpler than it likely will be. Realistically, given France’s history, it probably means some gridlock and grandstanding. Every Prime Minister wants to be president next so there’s probably going to be some positioning for the next presidential election (in 2027) involved. Maybe they’ll get along for a year and then have new elections.
As an American, maybe you know, but I should explain just in case: This is called a minority government, and it’s standard in many democracies around the world. Multiple parties will have to work together, and form a majority that can build a government. Or fail, triggering another election.
In this case, NFP will be looking around for people - independents and parties that are a part of Macron’s coalition - who would support them in exchange for goodies, like specific policies or being put in cabinet.
What I really need is a breakdown of seats within Ensemble. That’s where Melenchon would be looking for partners.
Assuming that’s allowed, anyway. The parties within parties within parties thing is confusing.
