The election in France is simply a large surprise

Krystian Kamiński on X.

According to exit poll, the parliamentary election won an alliance of socialists, communists, green and utmost left, which competes under the name of the fresh People's Front (leader Jean-Luc Melenchon). Second place was the Liberal camp of president Emmanuel Macron. Only in 3rd place was Rassemblement National (RN) Marine Le Pen.

The consequence is simply a large surprise. After the first circular of elections a week ago, forecasts indicated that RN is inactive around the absolute majority and may be able to form the next government. Nevertheless, the RN importantly strengthened: in the dissolved parliament it had only 88 mandates.

Currently, the government of the National People's Front with a liberal camp, or a number government of the National People's Front with support of the Liberal camp is most likely (due to the programme divergences – the common part of the program only afraid not allowing the RN to rule).

P.S. large electoral systems in France and large Britain. So not very democratic.
