Sebastian Budgen returns to the show to discuss the recent shock result in the French legislative elections that saw the left wing New Popular Front win the highest number of seats, beating both Emmanuel Macron's Ensemble and the far-right National Rally, who had been widely expected to emerge with the most deputies in the French parliament.

Really excellent interview! Parenthetically, what does that name 'La France Insoumise' signify in French? A party called 'England Unbowed' could only be fascist.

I believe insoumis basically means rebellious or unsubdued, in reference to the resistance against the capitalist ruling class and oppression more generally. Insoumission also can mean draft dodging.

Thanks! Just heard on another podcast that LFI as a name replaced 'Front Gauche' on the advice of left populist theoretician Chantal Mouffe.
