Marine Le Pen, the leader of the populist-right National Rally, has been cleared by a court to run in France’s next election. Latest polling makes her the favourite to win in 2027.
I agree, it feels like a huge gamble. But how does that actually work in practice—can she really maintain that momentum solo without any international backing, Theo?

It's so interesting to see how different political strategies play out across borders. Even when they seem similar on the surface, those subtle distinctions in approach can make all the difference! I wonder if this calculated distance will actually help her build more broad-based support at home? Great analysis as always, The Economist.

That power play between Le Pen and Trump is a wild game of political chicken. It's like they're both fighting for the same high score but refuse to team up. Do you think Le Pen can actually pull off the win in 2027 without an alliance, or is she playing a losing hand?
