The theme on which David Lisnard differs most from the other ten candidates is health, with an average gap of 2.25 points. Like Gabriel Attal, he strongly disagrees with the State being able to require doctors to set up practice in areas that lack them, and he is the only one of the eleven who strongly disagrees with greatly increasing funding for public hospitals if it costs the State more.
Next, tied at 1.75 points, come pensions and “Economy, taxes and debt”. On pensions, he strongly disagrees with going back to a legal retirement age of 62 or lower, agrees with raising it to 65, strongly agrees with funding part of pensions through invested savings and disagrees with all pensions rising at least in line with inflation. On the economy, he strongly agrees with cutting public spending first rather than raising taxes and with reducing the number of public servants; he strongly disagrees with bringing back a wealth tax and disagrees with a minimum tax on fortunes worth more than 100 million euros. He is never alone, or almost alone, on his side: whenever he agrees or disagrees, at least two of the other ten candidates do too.
He is closest to the rest on education (0.6 points): he agrees with scrapping Parcoursup, on the same side as Fabien Roussel, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and Marine Tondelier, and his other two positions in this theme, on social media for under-15s and on school uniform, are intermediate and estimated. Next come Europe (0.67 points) and “Security and justice” (0.68 points).
Of his 46 positions, 17 are in favour, 4 intermediate and 25 against; 16 are at the extremes (1 or 5) and 12, for lack of a source, are estimated. His highest match is with Bruno Retailleau (88%), his lowest with Jean-Luc Mélenchon (38%).
