"Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has announced that he is dissolving the national assembly, and calling for legislative elections on June 30 and July 7.

The French president said that he can’t pretend nothing has happened, that the outcome of the EU election is not good for his government and that the rise of nationalists is a danger for France and Europe."

    It’s the correct move. It’s democracy, you gotta accept the will of the people… even when they’re being idiots.

        The euro election seems to be a low turnout election, so this could absolutely be a wakeup call to apathetic voters as well.

        It’s a gamble but it’s a calculated one.
