@GeofCox Thanks for sharing this news.
One of the original report The Guardian cites about the French case links votes for the far right to the number of "bars-tabac" that have closed, not only in Paris but in every territory in France. This trend of closures is accompanied by a decline in social bounds.
Which reminds me of this sociological concept : the strength of weak ties (Mark Granovetter) which are pivotal for both social networks and flows of information.
We need cafés, bars and all kind of social places !

I often joke that Brittany is the most left-wing region in France - and has the highest number of cafés and bars per capita... but perhaps the two aspects are more closely linked than I thought.
