As a french citizen, it feels so weird reading about home politics from abroad: it's the biggest tell about how fucked we are... Everyone around me is exhausted

My understanding from relatives there is that this is a pretty common and expected thing to happen there - right does well in round 1, but not after that.

I was in France for work 20 years ago and heard then about the previous time Front National did so well in the first round Voter apathy was at a high for that round Absolute low for the second, because no one wanted Jean-Marie Le Pen Seems to be a pattern
