π«π·β‘οΈ- David Lisnard has rapidly emerged as one of the fastest-growing contenders for the 2027 French presidential election. His party, New Energy, recently became France's largest party with 113,000 members, up from just 25,000 in August. His core platform centered on economic reform and downsizing the French state is finding strong traction across both the center and the right. While polled at around 2% in mid-October, Lisnard has recently jumped to 9% according to a new batch of polls. Note: Lisnard's latest surge was unaffected by controversial remarks in which he stated he "didn't care" about the 1961 Paris Massacre, when the French police allegedly drowned dozens of Algerians in the Seine.
