>France’s left-wing parties were expected to win the most seats in the Assemblée Nationale, after the second round of snap parliamentary elections, first estimates showed on Sunday, July 7. *The far right made significant gains but finished third, behind Macron’s coalition, well below expectations.*
>The Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) alliance, formed less than three weeks ago by the main left-wing parties, was expected to clinch between 170 and 190 seats, according to the early estimates by Ipsos for France Télévisions, Radio France, France24/RFI and LCP. The far-right Rassemblement National and its allies were projected to win between 135 and 155 seats, and Macron’s coalition, Ensemble, between 150 and 170.
Pretty dramatic swing from the 1st round. Right wing support fell off dramatically..or actually seems like left wing strategy improved and voter participation increased

Good to see France pulling back from the brink. Fingers crossed the US does the same.

Been several exit polls, all give varying levels of support for RN but all but one suggest the left will win the most seats.
Doesn’t look like any group will get a majority but let’s hope the centrists and moderate left can co-operate and get things done. Otherwise they might as well hand Le Pen the keys to the French presidential palace in 2027.
