Damn, this made it difficult to find the right one. But RN it is.

Is there any difference in policy between the LREM-led list and the UDI list?
BTW I would probably vote for LREM, they're not perfect but they are better than the alternatives.

[bigic]

And it seems that the French traditional Gaullist right likes to use "la droite et le centre" - is it for historical reasons because some centrist parties were involved in one of the mergers of the French right?

UDI is far more federalist than LREM

Since 1958 the right and the center have been allied. Even now some center-right parties are allied with LR (Nouveau Centre, new center, of Normandy's president Hervé Morin)

[Former President tack50]

The PS list.

Any reason why French parties use different names in the EU elections? Like RN running as "Prenez le pouvoir" instead of just "rassemblement national" or LREM running as "Renaissance" instead of "La Republique en Marche" (or a variation like "Europe en Marche")?

[President Johnson]

Renaissance. Macron needs to be supported.

I wish La Republique en Marche would expand to Germany and become a real force.

[Dr. MB]

Hamon's

[MR DARK BRANDON]

RN

[LAKISYLVANIA]

1. Maintenant le peuple
2. Pour l'Europe des gens contre l'Europe de l'argent
3. Liste citoyenne du printemps européen
...

[Lechasseur]

RN

I don't like them, but anyone else is a vote for LREM at this point basically. This election is a referendum on Macron, and we need to show him and the government what we think. I hope RN finishes first to hammer that point in.

[Sirius_]

Renaissance list, the Socialist List, UDI, Pirate List, and PACE also seem ok.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Union de la droite et du centre

LREM is awful, they represent everything that's wrong with politics. Germany is lucky not to have them.
