Yes, good point, Chti. I would be in favor of keeping these politics discussions in a separte thread where interested people can read and interact. I'm tired of seeing the shoutbox cluttered with this.
Yeah those postures in the media are more than questionable for sure. I guess they both have an electoral strategy and try to talk to the people who they think will make them win. But in the end what should matter are the programs
But I find Melenchon and Le Pen's policies interesting. We only see them for issues that suit them. Not long ago, there was a murder in a mosque, and we saw Mélenchon crying, while Le Pen remained silent.
Personally, I have a hard time understanding how to have a viable economic system without the rich people. And for me, if people started voting for LFI and RN, it's because they think that the other parties won't do anything.
