The situation in France is way worse that what can be seen in the media, 3 months of major strikes with even petrol shortage in half of the country, the president has only 13% support, the lowest of the 5th republic. They even had gunshots on the main building of the party.
The socialist party (equivalent of UK's labour) is dead as dead and I expect it to break into pieces as people are going to create new left parties. On the left side, the far left is almost guarantee to win. On the right side, the party is weak and polluted by internal fights and if they choose the wrong candidate, they are also dead.
The country is the most anti-EU country in Europe, even more than the UK, only Greece is toping France on that aspect. Although it's not for the same reasons as the UK.
The next election, only in April is going to be pretty intense.
