French Parliamentary Elections: What to Expect
Ensemble Projected to Be Second Largest Block
President Emmanuel Macron's party, Ensemble, is projected to be the second largest block in the National Assembly, with 150 to 170 seats. This is a significant improvement over the party's performance in the previous election, and exceeds expectations.
Far-Right National Rally Underperforms
Leaders of the far-right National Rally tried to put a brave face on projected results from parliamentary elections on Sunday, but the party is on course to fall short of expectations. The party had hoped to make significant gains in the election, but it is now projected to win only 60 to 80 seats.
Conclusion
The outcome of the parliamentary elections will have a significant impact on French politics. A hung parliament could make it difficult for Macron to pass legislation and implement his agenda. It could also lead to a period of political instability, as different parties try to form alliances and build majorities.
