Its a grouping of 5 smaller leftish parties, so pretty ideologically diverse. It only came together like two months ago per CNN, ad hoc when Macron called for the general election.

Their main unifying factor is not wanting the far right in control.

Whatever disagreements I might have with them, full respect for moving so quick on this.
