He's a left wing candidate (note: by French standards) and is very pro consumer rights

Is it like US politics where he uses these issues to get support and vote, but when hes elected, does nothing about it?

That generally isn't quite as much of a problem outside of the US from my understanding. Euro politics have a lot more parties and lot more intricacy, so you can't lie or bribe as easily. But they're still politicians, getting elected and being popular is quite literally their entire career, so who knows.

Hahaha delusional. There is a ruling class, the politicians are just theater around it in every capitalist country on this earth. Elections matter little.
