This is how it is revealed that the ruling classes subvert the will of the people for their own agenda.
It sucks that people are so stupid that we have to go through all this bullshit just to wake up a bunch of fucking morons who would rather worry about what other people think of them than live free.
How is it a subversion though? It looks like this is just the election outcome, unless you think that the election was stolen. France requires ID verified, in person voting, so it is locked down pretty tight.
In France, someone can drop out and "give" the votes they got to one of the other remaining losers. When enough do this you can beat the winner with a collection of losers.
It is rigging of a different kind.
That's not how this works. After the first round of election, the seats that don't have a majority go into a run-off. If a candidate drops out, their previous votes don't go anywhere, they just won't be an option during the next round. They only "give" their votes because they've dropped out and most French people feel more comfortable with left wing politicians than right wing politicians.
