  1. ***The Telegraph reports:***

    Marine Le Pen faces a shock defeat at the hands of the far-Left and Emmanuel Macron, exit polls predicted, after French voters turned out in force to keep her and the hard-Right from power.

    In a disappointing result for the National Rally (RN) leader, the New Popular Front, an uneasy alliance of centre-Left, green and hard-Left parties, was predicted to [win the snap parliamentary election with between 172 and 192 seats](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/07/france-election-results-latest-le-pen-macron-voting/).

    It had vowed a “total break” with [Mr Macron’s unpopular pensions and welfare reforms](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/06/unstable-macron-may-resign-after-second-round-french-vote/) and its leaders called on the president to respect the results of the second round run-off, which point to France having a hung parliament three weeks before the Paris Olympics.

    Mr Macron’s Ensemble (Together) alliance will win between 150 and 170 seats, [better than expected after he came third in the first round](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/07/04/french-election-macron-unpopular-avoid-campaign-president/). RN will win between 132 and 152 seats, according to the usually reliable exit polls.

    RN was the clear winner in the first round of the vote called by Mr Macron after he was trounced by Ms Le Pen in June’s European elections but fell to third on Sunday, according to the poll.

  2. Why there are two rounds of elections in France? Sorry for my ignorance and lack of will to ask ChatGPT

  3. Similar to what happened in the UK. Far right have gained significantly more support than they have in the very recent past. I think a few more years of the way things are will be enough as push them into power.

  4. Can someone answer. Can migrants vote in France? If not, I think the far right will get in next election.

  5. Imagine destroying a beautiful monument like that because you won an election.

  6. That “Stop the Gènocide” flag just adds to my joy. Well done France!

  7. Can someone do a quick rundown on France’s political parties?

    I know of RN and RE. I’ve also heard of the New Popular Front which is the coalition of left-wing parties? Do the Republicans support Renaissance? Who bickers with whom? How are the two centre-right parties different from one another?

  8. Europe left – pro palestine, anti russia, anti israel, weapons support to israel, monetary support to palestinian organizations.

    Europe right – pro russia, anti palestine, pro israel. No influence over support.

    Russia – support to european right wing parties, direct support of weapons and training for palestinian organizations and heavy anti israeli and anti semitic and anti west propoganda over the media.

    Wtf is going on with politics.
