Good news for moderate left.

Here is what I consider good news.

France’s local elections, closely watched for clues to next year’s presidential vote, have given parties of the centre a welcome and unexpected lift as the far right and radical left fell some way short of their ambitions.

Radical left often just takes votes away from center left giving power over to the right. It's the spoiler problem. Most people don't support all the consequences of radical left. For instance free college, by itself, might poll well, but higher taxes, to pay for running the colleges, doesn't poll as well.

Maybe people are getting scared of sinking into Trumpism.
