Can someone summarize why we have close to a third of French voters wanting her as president?
What's driving people's minds?
Edit: And why's the common ground in the middle of the political spectrum in French politics so small? Like every second vote is either super left or super right. What causes those divisions?
23% of maybe 65% of eligible voters is hardly "a third", but i get what you mean. some reasons:
- racial and religious tensions
- nationalist sentiments that have always been popular, predominantly amongst the less educated
- economic problems that racists promise to disappear once all "foreigners" / "others" disappear, even though that's obviously utter non-sense
- discontent with the current leadership
