The growing ideological rifts and shifting allegiances, has further destabilized the party.
Let's see what the future holds (spoiler: it really won't be pretty and the far-right is thriving).

In my opinion, this lack of consistency undermines their effectiveness. As for LR: their disintegration has been unfolding for quite some time now. Over the years, the party has faced internal divisions and shifts in ideological direction, which have contributed to its fragmentation.
October 8, 2025 at 11:52 AM
The issue with the left is that they tend to unite when it is convenient, (ie.2weeks ago, 2024 legislative elections). However, at other times, when their cohesion is crucial, they are often embroiled in internal conflicts or working against one another.

We are not only facing a regime crisis, but also a regime fatigue. The Vth Republic’s institutions were designed for authority, not pluralism. And France is now plural, fragmented,and deeply allergic to compromise. So the Constitution creaks under its own design flaw.

1) France just had one in 2024 (clearly did not go well for Macron and his party).
2) A second dissolution in a year risks public fatigue and deep institutional delegitimization.
3) No guarantee of a clearer majority

Article 12 of the Constitution allows the President to dissolve the Assembly at any time (except within a year of a previous dissolution). Macron could theoretically call new elections immediately.

Buuuuuut there are risks.
October 6, 2025 at 12:33 PM
Technically, Macron could dissolve the National Assembly once more, exactly what the far-right is eagerly cheering for.

Macron keeps appointing prime ministers the way tech startups appoint interim CEOs before liquidation. Bayrou, Barnier, Lecornu…Each sold as the “stabilizing force.” Each lasted less than a fiscal quarter.
October 6, 2025 at 12:33 PM
Why are we here? Because Macron’s “brilliant” (sic) 2024 snap election gamble, clarified only one fact:France is now ungovernable. The far-right surged, the left fragmented, and the so-called center imploded under its own arrogance.

C'est vrai, en effet, puis ils ont plus de marge de manœuvre. Mais juste l'idée de les imaginer en panique😅

Isn't it interesting: they can always find billions for tax cuts, corporate subsidies & defense contracts.
But when it comes to paying for the survival of our healthcare system, they all they all turn into accountants clutching pearls over every cent...

(BTW, Notice the framing: hospitals are treated not as an essential public service, but as budgetary problems🤷‍♀️).
