Being in the government often leads to reduced popularity.
Consider the options:
- No early election. RN popularity continues to rise, and they take the presidency and parliament in 2027. Result: Complete power for 5 years.
- Early election. RN wins, and forms a new government. While being the ruling party, they lose in popularity and lose the elections in 2027. Result: limited power for 3 years.
To me it seems quite clear that option 2 is preferable to 1 for Macron.
Ok, but what does that have to do with said denocrat administration? What say did they have in the matter? What could they have done to change the outcome?
