    France Elections

    In the system we have the Liberal Democrats got 72 seats and Reform UK got 5 seats, yet Reform got more votes. Doesn't seem right to me. On the Continent and even in the Scottish Parliament and Welsh and London Assemblies they have PR. Why don't we have it in General Elections. Because the Big...

    France Elections

    A huge Tricolour on a statue in Paris is reading: "La France est Tissu de Migration" (France is a fabric of migration"). It's always the Left on the streets causing trouble.

    France Elections

    I'm saying the French system is fairer. Their equivalent of Reform UK has won between 120 and 150 seats. Reform UK got 5 seats but would have won nearly 100 seats has we got the French voting system.

    France Elections

    France Télévisions gives the National Rally between 120 and 160 seats - Compare that to Britain where Reform UK got just 5 seats. The French system gives seats according to the proportion of votes they got. It's the system we need in Britain. They all indicate that the left-wing New Popular...

    France Elections

    Confused picture as projections come in Exit polls have just been made available and they all give different numbers - to the point we cannot confidently say which party has come out on top.

    France Elections

    These are only Parliamentary elections. Macron will remain as President. This is just to decide the make up of the French parliament. The French Prime Minister is appointed by the President, not the people. Gabriel Attal is the Prime Minister. France is sort of part way between the British...

    UK General Election to be on 4th July
