The four main representatives of the right and the far right in France (Emmanuel Macron, Valérie Pécresse, Marine Le Pen and Éric Zemmour) are credited together with 72% of the voting intentions, according to a poll published on Tuesday. As for the three main candidates of the left (Jean-Luc Mélenchon, Yannick Jadot and Anne Hidalgo), they are credited together with a meager 18%. The result is known in advance: the left will be knocked out again. in the 2022 presidential election.
Considering that the right has never been so divided, I find it hard to understand why the left has not learned a lesson from the humiliating disappointment of 2017: namely to seek by all possible means to unite. It will probably take this other beating expected on April 10 and 24 for their representatives to finally understand that they have an interest in finding a single leader for 2027 and a common program to hope to have a chance to beat the right and the far right. The intractable, like Mélenchon, will also have to retire.
This next French presidential election should not remain without echo in Quebec: the Parti Quebecois and Quebec solidaire have no chance, separately, of defeating the Coalition futur Quebec and its leader François Legault in October 2022, but under the same banner, they could create surprise. Lack of pot, here as in France, sectarianism will prevail and the right will come out the winner, united or disunited.
