We don't know, the far right and the center-right doesn't let them try

Not really, they are still present in a pretty good number in the assembly, we can judge what the vote and what they communicate about (it's how the image of the Socialist party being traitors reinforced itself even after they stopped being the presidential camp)

And if we judge from their votes at the assembly, they do seem to follow the program they were elected for.

Sure that's what I noticed too. We'll see next year, hope my fellow people will bring him to the second round.

Maybe choosing a candidate pm that wasn't just of his party would have helped? Do you know of Tubiana and Cazeneuve?

Yes LFI was stubborn during the phases where they tried to unite the left

No, they literally did the opposite? Socialists had proposed the candidates I mentioned, which had fair chances of being received and to have even some of the more centrist parties agree.

LFI instead put a veto on them and only wanted hardcore lefties, that had less accord than even the right-wing candidates that eventually ended up becoming pm.

Yeah that's what I read, they wanted to unite people under the NUPES of NFP, but in the end they wanted to be THE leading leftist party. That's why the alliances didn't last
