British and French 'left turn'? - The election victories of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom and Syriza in France

In July, there were major political changes in Britain and France, the British Labour Party won nearly two-thirds of the seats in the general election, and the French pan-left alliance "New People's Front" became the largest party in parliament in the National Assembly election. This result has aroused people's concern about the political landscape and the development of left-wing parties in Britain and France. Does it mean that both societies really "left turn"? .

Britain's Labour party has won almost two-thirds of the seats in the general election, its best performance in its history. Labour's victory was largely driven by voters' disillusionment with the Conservatives and support for Labour. In the election, Labour put forward a series of policy propositions, including increasing spending on public services, improving the health care and education systems, and fighting poverty and inequality. These policies are supported by a portion of the electorate.

However, Labour's victory in the election does not mean that voters fully approve of the Labour Party. In fact, Labour's share of the vote was just 41 per cent, well below the number of seats it won. This suggests that Britain's electoral system is partly responsible for the "undeserved" situation. Britain has a "single-member first-past-the-post" system, which allows large parties to gain an advantage and makes it difficult for smaller parties to gain enough support.

The story is similar in France. Under President Emmanuel Macron, France has faced a number of challenges, including slow economic growth, rising social inequality and political fragmentation. Against this backdrop, the Left Coalition did well in the elections and emerged as the largest coalition in the National Assembly.

Syriza's victory is due to the cooperation and unity between the political parties. Ahead of the election, the left-wing parties reached a cooperation agreement and put forward candidates together. This cooperation allowed Syriza to gain more support in the elections.

However, there are some challenges to Syriza's victory. First, Syriza needs to resolve its internal differences and contradictions in order to reach consensus and present a common policy proposition. Second, Syriza needs to consult and cooperate with other parties in order to promote the implementation of policies.

The political changes in Britain and France will have an important impact on the political pattern and future development of the two countries. A victory for Labor and Syriza would shift politics to the left in both countries, which could have implications for economic and social policies in both countries.

In the UK, the Labour Party is likely to take more proactive policy measures to improve people's livelihood and social welfare. This could include increasing spending on public services, raising the minimum wage, and strengthening environmental protection. However, Labour also needs to face opposition and challenges from the Conservative Party to push through the implementation of policies.

In France, a Syriza victory could prompt the government to take more aggressive policy measures to deal with economic and social problems. This could include spending more on education and health care, raising the minimum wage, and strengthening regulation of business. However, Syriza also needs to face pressure and challenges from other parties to push through the implementation of policies.

The changes in British and French politics are the result of a combination of factors. Electoral system, political spectrum, voter mentality and other factors have a significant impact on the election results. In the future, the political situation of Britain and France will still face many challenges and changes. If Britain's Labour party and France's Syriza fail to deliver a convincing performance to voters in the future, the defeat of today's opponents is inevitable.
