The French version of Donald and Hilary. I shyt you not. Both are disliked over there, though the woman appears to be the greater of two evils, as per Parisians I met.

I've been wondering where does "Libertarian" fit on the left-right spectrum (I was assuming Center-right). You're telling me "Libertarian" is on it's own spectrum opposite of " Authoritarian"? @JahFocus CS @Darth Humanist

The "left/right, authoritarian/libertarian" graph is one way of interpreting political differences, and I think it does a decent job of encapsulating the distinction between divergent views on 'economic' policy, and divergent views on 'social' policy. With two spectrum's, you can more easily identify actual differences & similarities between political views.

In regards to the term 'Libertarian', there's no ironclad definition for many terms of political ideology. However, it's my understanding that historically, in many States around the world, it has generally been associated with the anarchist left. Of course in America's recent history, it's taken on a wildly different meaning, with people who could be described as having far right views on economics, identifying themselves as Libertarian.



Do not confuse @DEAD7 with a leftist.

You and the others in this thread saying "Nazi" literally have no clue what you're getting in Macron. He's waaaay farther to the right then LePen fiscally and the EU does nothing to serve the left in France.

Melenchon also didn't endorse Macron...

He might not have endorsed Macron but his team did tell his supporters to not vote for Le Pen.

And when Le Pen tried to appeal to his supporters he attacked her.

FYI while majority of Melenchon voters said they will abstain from voting, the election polls showed that at least 40% of them support Macron while only 15% only support Le Pen, that is again should tell you something.

Edit: Melenchon isn't the only left politician in France.

people in the thread think Macron is far-right

he has said many times he is centrist and will adopt Nordic style economic model.

"do you really listen to music or just skim through it?"
