Those who shifted left last time might shift back having shown their discontent.

That's why he's doing it. He's hoping that voters become so disillusioned with the left at their inability to do anything due to macron blocking them that they'll vote moderate or right there next time around.

He's right and time is on his side; he simply needs to run out the clock

All the media I've seen blames Macron, not the left. So it could backfire. Just like his snap election did.

Progressive politics requires a window of opportunity between when things are so bad that people fall through the cracks and things being good enough to pretend that there are no cracks.

All macron has to do is wait and he will be justified in his machinations to disenfranchise the left and embrace the right
