His sole manifesto was creating a 6e République based on the British system {well, Indian with a titular president, not a monarch.} He would then have called fresh elections straight away.
The the socialists had pulled out in 2017, and a chunk of that 6% voted for Melenchon, he'd have made the run off.
But good to see you agree with us Gilets Jaunes types. There's hope for you yet.
{When my mate told me FI's plans and I said it was basically the system we'd been telling you to use for over 200 years, he laughed and said that was the problem - if it hadn't been what the Brits had suggested, France would have done it years ago.}
