References are out of date in the lead[edit]

Macron calling for snap elections was just (officially) announced (roughly at the time of writing). The references 1,2,3 in lead are from 2022 and they have very little to do with what is being said in the lead. Added 4 from SkyNews, which felt like way more relevant, and more references will come soon. Andreas Mastronikolis (talk) 19:51, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake about the previous use of the dissolution[edit]

The article says that Macron is the second president after chirac to use it's dissolution power. In fact, De Gaulle and Mitterand (twice) also used the power of dissolution. This dissolution is more close of the dissolution used by Mitterand (to restore confidence into his part) rater than Chirac ("British" usage of the dissolution power). 2A01:E0A:4DF:D1F0:4AED:60D3:ACDB:9B24 (talk) 08:27, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

True. Thank you for the important correction. — hako9 (talk) 08:55, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leader of Ensemble in the infobox[edit]

I think having Sejourné as leader of Ensemble in the infobox is misleading. All the campaign has been around the incumbent prime minister, Gabriel Attal, as his participation in the debates shows, just the same way Bardella is the candidate of RN. The same should be done for the 2022 election and change Ferrand for Élisabeth Borne. Pinging other contributors of this page to have their input. @Mason.Jones, @Muaza Husni, @Borgerland, @ValenciaThunderbolt, @David O.

Oppose, leaders and candidates aren't the same thing, Sejourné is the party's General Secretary, Attal was just Macron's choice for Prime Minister after Borne stepped down. – GlowstoneUnknown (Talk) 01:18, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support showing Attal as leader in infobox, either alone or along with Sejourné per WP:EDITCON as it reflects the nature of the election in practice and relative visibility/participation of party leaders vs PMs in the election, cf French edition articles for 2024 and 2022 where Attal and Borne are listed in the infobox. 73.169.176.209 (talk) 02:14, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I agree with GlowstoneUnknown. The Prime Minister can come and go at the whim of the President, making it unjust to have them in TILE, and TIE too. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 13:10, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Agree with Glowstone and Valencia. Borne was simply tapped, not duly elected, and served for a short time. Likewise, Attal could be jettisoned tomorrow. Listing imcumbent PMs in the infobox seems overblown. Mason.Jones (talk) 17:16, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
