Re: France (4.00 / 2)

I know, ALDE is not the left, but there are reasons for comparing the Greens and ALDE.

Re: France (none / 0)

The parties of the Left are in a heated battle with the Libs for fourth place, while the Greens have almost clipped the Socialists. Meanwhile the center-Right seems to have fractured in Germany, although they still hold the strongest position by far.
