It's funny as this seems to be happening ALL across Europe. Establishment, desperate to keep the right out, try to form packs with left wing parties to have the numbers to deny the right power.
They infighting, turn on each other, the government fails and the right look EVEN BETTER because you fucked up so publicly in your efforts.
Fourt.... Fifth? I think this is the 6th republic?
The Third Republic fell with the invasion of France. Vichy France isn't considered a Republic. Then DeGaul was the Fourth Republic. Then there was a coup... I think it failed, but I can't remember if that was then the 5th Republic afterwards?
...might need to make some 'sixth Republic' merch now, get ahead of the curve as I bet THAT will happen before the French establishment lets the populists take power.
Which republic are we on now?

Apparently we're on the fifth...

It would be entertaining to watch the French military to just start handing out battle axes.
