The anti-White reality of liberal democracy has been building for decades now, both in media and in politics.
On the media side of the equation, any rise of a “far-right” party (a label only the media has the right to first stick to a political group) is treated as a direct threat to Western democracy. In France, more than “1,000 Historians” signed an open letter begging the nation’s populace not to vote for Le Pen’s National Rally—a letter sent to the French media and published worldwide.
France’s president warned that a vote against his party was a vote against stability and that voting for one of the two “extremes” (National Rally or the New Popular Front) could spark a civil war in the country.
Likewise, Reform UK (which we will cover in detail below) has been described as a threat to democracy both by Labour and the Conservatives and UK media and state-adjacent institutions have wasted no time in labeling the group a threat to the rule of law and the democratic order.
Despite this rhetoric, Le Pen’s party won the popular vote by an incredible margin. National Rally received 10.1 million second-round votes, leading the second-place New Popular Front by 3.1 million voters and outperforming Macron’s Ensemble pour la République by roughly 3.2 million votes. National Rally’s vote share in the second round increased by 19.76% on its 2022 performance and the party gained a significant number of MPs.
Le Pen’s party won a plurality of both men and women, it was also the leading party among all French voters aged 35 to 69. Le Pen’s party came in second place with those aged 18-24 and 25-34, falling behind the leading New Popular Front by only a few percentage points with these age groups. Le Pen won a majority of the country’s Christian populace and came out firmly ahead with the country’s working classes and those making under €3,000 a month.
In contrast, the New Popular Front of Jean-Luc Mélenchon received 6% fewer votes in 2024 than it did in 2022. Macron’s Ensemble pour la République vote share collapsed by 14.04% from its 2022 numbers, and the nation’s Les Républicains (center-right) party experienced a 2% second-round drop in vote share from its 2022 performance.
