    it’s the “letting it get even worse” in your reply that confuses me. if that description doesn’t include turning your entire government over to the le pen nazi party, then i can’t see it “getting worse” than that for macron to attempt to retain power for sanity and reason

      I know what you mean, but momentum does matter in politics sometimes and calling an election and dealing with something directly looks better than being asked about why you haven’t done it for weeks on end and letting your opponents go on about how you’re scared.

      Also, I’m not an expert in French politics by any means, but hasn’t Macron basically lost the ability to pass legislation? In that situation I can’t see how he could turn things around by carrying on.
