France 2027 Elections: A clash of two extremes could lead to 'easy' Le Pen win
The Financial Times' Victor Mallet warns that France's two-round election system in the 2027 elections could force center voters to choose between far-right and far-left extremes, potentially leading to a #LePen victory. This system may open the door for a far-right win over the far-left.
