If Macron does what Schröder does in Germany the result will be very ambiguous. It's not clear at all objectively ten years later if has only hurt us, improved the situation or whatever. Even on the left people disagree about this.

You are the one presenting things in a way that implies these are facts, but not being able to prove it, and I'm the one trolling?
It would have been fine if you said something along the lines of: "I think that the past governments led us to this jobless crisis because blabla... and Macron is in the continuity of these governments, so imo we need to try something else... blabla".
But no, you said "Macron's results = 1 million of extra jobless people". You may be right, but if you can't prove it, use a different wording.

This kind of numbers come from the brain of a politician (politicians never lie...obviously...) for the gullibles.
And even if you prove them how wrong they are with independant et reliable sources, conspiracy theory would be hatching instantly.
Just the usual crap in France politics (and elsewhere, USA and UK recently) for the clueless, gullible and narrow-minded people.

Do you think we should all know French? :D
|
number of job seekers at the end of the month in millions. But again I really think this needs to be looked at carefully because this is still very much in the post 2008 financial crisis phase that France really did not get out of well. Just to point at the graph is a little bit like Trump taking credit for Obama's econ policies.

In thousands not in millions. It's the job seekers registered at Pole Emploi at the end of the month in category A, B, C, D and E, and cvs-cjo means that the numbers are corrected for seasonal variations and business days (août is august and févr is february)

TheDwf what do you think are the causes of joblessness?

Le Pen goes full alterantive facts on TF1 apparently. Not all that surprising, the FN has made lies its trademark.

Many friends who voted Mélenchon refusing to vote Macron. Apparently the Berniebros don't have the monopoly on political immaturity.

3 big issues in your comment :
1- Pole Emploi web site says otherwise. Your source is wikipedia. Not Pole emploi.
2- You consider all categories as "jobless". An exemple in my family : my sister has a job and seeks a better one closer to her home. She's one of the 5.5 million job seekers. And she's not alone.
3- Macron was minister from august 2014 to august 2016. Not from 2012 to 2015.
1 million more jobless people -> wrong.
1 million more jobseekers -> wrong.
Macron's responsability -> wrong.
Note for non french readers : Pole Emploi is the french public agency for jobseekers and jobless benefits payment.

He said earlier in this thread that he reluctantly voted for Mélenchon and regrets it now.
I don't see how it is "immature" to not vote for someone who you do not support. It is merely exercising your democratic right.

Depends on the region tbh. In Paris it is one, in the Midi-Pyrénées I've found it to be closer to 10'ish.

I wouldn't call it immature. I would call it dumb.
Someone is going to become President, you get to vote which of the two and by not voting for the candidate who is more towards your preference but not quite what you want, you increase the chance of getting the opposite candidate.

You should not use logic when discussing such matters, it makes them fly away

So you know for a fact that Macron is more towards what those Melenchon voters who are not voting for Macron or Le Pen want? That seems like quite an assumption.
Edit: What if you're someone who is convinced that France should leave the EU, and that's why you voted for Melenchon? How could you possibly then vote for Macron? You might not find Le Pen tasteful enough, and so you abstain. Seems like a perfectly sensible choice to me. Aside, of course, from the fact that I'd disagree with leaving the EU, but its ludicrous to suggest that you know what people want, and who they consider the lesser evil.

Voting is not only about getting what you want. It's also a resonsibility. Doing stuff you don't really want to do and don't really like because it's your responsibility is what defines maturity. I don't really want either to vote for Macron, I don't find it fun. But it's time to get real, it's him, or Le Pen.
There is no question that Macron is a much, much, MUCH lesser evil than Le Pen, just as for a Berniebro, Clinton was a lesser evil than Trump. I feel Melenchon and his goons are butthurt, and they stop playing the game because they didn't get exactly what they wanted.

It's pretty trivial tbh, you know for a fact that people, on average, want the best for themselves, and you know for a fact that MLP is the worst for most of them.
You are welcome
