>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
lol Putin and his henchmen can eat a satchel of Richards
Times like this I remember the words of Woody Guthrie:
All you fascists bound to lose
The UK and now France… the tides sure are changing!
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.
What a twist
As a Canadian, I hopefully Canada and US can learn from this. Sigh.
Oh thank fuck.
You lot had us very worried.
Vichy France 2.0 successfully avoided
I need some good news with everything going on atm
Mbappe diff
Fascists continuing their pretty consistent tradition of being massive fucking losers.
Glorious, fascist pigs in the bin. Get fucked Le Pen
Best Dragon slaying since Smaug.
A heartfelt merci france
That’s something worth celebrating today.
How many times can Le Pen fail before RN moves on from her?
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.
Good job France.
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.
Merci France! Lets hope for a functioning government to emerge (might be too much to ask but still better than the alternative)
Another Exit Poll from IFOP
NFP – 181-215 seats
Ensemble – 150-180 seats
RN – 120-150 seats
Vive La France 🇫🇷
Thanks for coming to your senses and let’s hope you can help the rest of the world
As a french citizen living in the United States, I have watched the catastrophe of the political debate between Biden and Trump, sending a wave of fear in people concerning the political future. I am so relieved that we told, yet again, the far right to fuck off and pound sand. There is no world into which I would vote for a political party that is so called the “rassemblement national” but tries to divide french citizen among “real, legitimate french” and “so-call, not so french, french” and I feel so happy that people in my country felt the same.
Sure, there is no absolute majority, but at least we didn’t give in into the far right. I have hope that this new political landscape and the left coalition will not fuck up, they better not to.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

The left returning to their roots
Putting fascists in their place.
Fending off yet another Nazi invasion.
Amazing how quickly people forget.
Hoping this exit poll is accurate.
Another loss for far-right scum.
