Well if majority votes for them, it's important to respect the choice of the voters, even if you don't like their choice because you have other interests that you want to defend.

The opposition in France are far from being angels, it's very similar to Democrats vs Republican situation in France (except Gauche vs Droite).

What limits are you willing to place on this? Majorities can and do vote for monsters.
Not only that, it's common to have a ballot that only presents a choice between two monsters. It's your fault if you vote for one and it's your fault if you stay home. Maybe the problem is systemic?

Checks and balances that get eroded during populist waves, stay that way when the monster comes.
