      >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

      Times like this I remember the words of Woody Guthrie:

      All you fascists bound to lose

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

      Once again showing The left can defeat the alt right! The future is progressive!

      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.

      Fascists continuing their pretty consistent tradition of being massive fucking losers.

      Many thanks to the French voters who showed up today. Y’all had me worried, though.

      They even got a lower score than Macron own party, still the RN greatly grew in power.

      Looking at the numbers the PM is gonna have to be someone acceptable to enough of the Leftist and enough of the Centrist, will be intresting to see who it is.

      Looking at India, UK and France elections, left wave is getting only stronger. Next Stop US.

      Do you think Macron will Take his seat because the left got more % than his Party?
      What you all think about this results?
      For Europe it is a good win. The left Party is more europe friendly than the right.

      TFFT, they were talking about how well the far right were doing yesterday

    33. Gravesens1stTouch on

      Merci France! Lets hope for a functioning government to emerge (might be too much to ask but still better than the alternative)

    34. CBT7commander on

      People here rejoice not really understanding what’s going on. The far right lost, but this isn’t the end. The RN still has the most seats in has ever had in its history and still represented about a third of the vote. Come 2027 and the next presidential elections things might go south really fast. We’ll see how this all works out

    35. AyeAye711 on

      So there’s a Left, a Centre and a Far Right. Where is Right? And where is Far Left?

    36. EatsAlotOfBread on

      Good job! Now I hope the liberals don’t decide to form a majority with the very people they claim to abhor (Le Pen, Rassemblement National, WW2 collaborationist regime origins now funded by Russia among others) JUST to not have to work with the left, because that would be absolutely tragically stupid and suicidal for France. And it would have severe repercussions for Europe vs Russia.

      Le Pen probably lost quite a few with the last minute anti ukraine comment.

      Good for all of us.
