Leftist Coalition Set For Shock Victory In French Election; Le Pen Limps To 3rd Behind Macron

"The last-minute-arranged broad left-wing coalition known as The New Popular Front (NFP), was leading a tight French legislative election Sunday, ahead of both President Emmanuel Macron's centrists and Le

Pen's rightists, projections showed.
Left Alliance Set for 170-215 Seats
Macron’s Group Set for 150-182 Seats
Le Pen’s Group Set for 110-158 Seats
It looks like the anti-National Rally front worked better than anyone expected, catching the polling companies by surprise.
The projected results suggest that the co-ordinated anti-RN strategy, under which the left and center tactically withdrew their candidates from run-offs, had paid off." ZH
