The conclusion is that the barrier vote is not enough to embody an alternative”she elaborates.

“It is a defeat for the Democrats, because by dint of being in the position of the barrier, what she could carry was not even valued, her project was not perceived”estimates Nadège Abomangoli. “We have the impression that the first idea was to seduce a moderate Republican electorate.
