Bruno Cautrès, political scientist and researcher at Cevipof (Sciences Po Paris), and Anne Muxel, political scientist and delegated director of Cevipof, analyze, within the ebook Voting with no consequence.

How would you qualify the political state of the nation, a yr after the dissolution of the Assembly?

Bruno Cautrès: The first phrases that come to me are the deadlock, the confusion, the fog. We have a authorities in strolling order, a parliament that works properly yr previous, however we’re in a useless finish. The gaze which is as we speak taken by the French on the political system is a glance of strangeness, as a result of the state of affairs appears unusual to them and the political class, virtually overseas. As if they’d drawn the curtain between them and politics, saying that there’s nothing to hope for.

Anne Muxel: The traditionally unprecedented electoral sequence, which has seen a European poll and legislative elections are linked, has no equal in our political life. She was capable of disarray the French. During the summer time [2024]the sequence of political procrastination that entered has launched quite a lot of questions. Since then, the way of thinking of the French has lacked between doubt, indifference and anger, as many adverse impacts. The feeling of a political state of affairs within the deadlock and the procureability of the nation dominates in opinion. Hence this qualifier that we use of a “voting without outcome”.
