France’s left-wing political coalition, the New Popular Front, is celebrating after exit polls in the second round of parliamentary elections predicted it was on course for victory.
France’s far-right National Rally had been widely expected to win the election after leading in the first round of voting.
The snap election was called by a weakened President Macron, in response to a surge in support for the far-right party led by Marine Le Pen. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who was appointed by President Macron only seven months ago, has said he is planning to resign.
France is now heading for a hung parliament with no party expected to achieve an overall majority. The biggest group in the left-wing alliance is led by the radical socialist Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who may now become Prime Minister.

In next 10 years france will set a good example for other countries that what happens when you give more importance to immigrants than the local people
Standing up to the hate and decay that Leftists bring takes courage. Fascist won today. They won't win forever. Hate is hate and people will tire of it.
So the left burns the city down, murders a bunch of people, makes living in France a living hell and then wins?
Man it must SUCK to live in France right now. People who have been living there all their lives need to move out now as it will only get worse. They needed the right to save them.
Rough and bad times are comin'…
