Multiple parties are jockeying for position in the aftermath of France’s seismic snap election. The leftist New Popular Front (NPF) insists its ideas should be implemented.

France’s left wing New Popular Front (NPF) - now the largest group in parliament - has called for a prime minister who will implement its ideas including a new wealth tax and petrol price controls.

The leftist alliance secured the most seats in the recent French elections but fell short of the 289 needed for a majority in the National Assembly, France’s lower house of parliament.

President Emmanuel Macron’s Together bloc came in second and Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party finished third.

France’s parties are now jockeying for position and it’s unclear exactly how things will shake out, but the NPF has insisted it will implement its radical set of ideas.

    Sorry I meant in my example they took out a loan, not a mortgage.

    Better rates that way probably.

    But it’s the same problem even if it’s living expenses.

    You borrow 1m to live off of and pay income tax on it.

    You then sell stocks to close out the loan and pay capital gains tax

    You’ve now paid tax twice.

    Edit: that’s what it needs to be able to account for which might get messy
