Alors que les incertitudes sur l’issue du scrutin législatif des 12 et 19 juin n’ont jamais été aussi nombreuses et que l’obtention d’une majorité de députés soutenant le nouveau président élu, Emmanuel Macron, apparaît aujourd’hui incertaine, il semble instructif de revenir sur les stratégies mises en place par les trois principales forces politiques issues du scrutin présidentiel. D'une part pour mieux comprendre et analyser la situation actuelle alors que l’abstention s’annonce historiquement élevée pour des élections législatives. De l'autre car les stratégies mises en place, qui se sont révélées très différentes les unes des autres, devraient avoir un impact majeur sur l’issue du scrutin.

Au lendemain des incidents qui ont précédé la rencontre de finale de Coupe d’Europe opposant Liverpool au Real de Madrid au Stade de France, chacun - hommes politiques, policiers, dirigeants français et européens du football, tabloïds anglo-saxons et bien d’autres - va de ses commentaires tantôt acerbes sur la gestion des foules par les forces de l’ordre, tantôt destinés à incriminer les autres, forcément responsables des incidents.
As for any meaningful anniversary, gift-giving will be an important part of the Queen’s platinum jubilee celebrations. Over the years, the Queen has received several priceless, unusual and quirky, but also simple and yet very personal gifts from foreign officials, various businesses and organisations and from members of the public.

In their recent election, Australians voted out their incumbent government, a long-standing coalition between two conservative parties. In its place, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) formed a government, despite a declining vote share of 30%.
