This is second round this might be end of Macon govt As the second round of voting begins a far-right government could come to power, however most analysts suggest a hung parliament is more likely. Voting has begun in France in pivotal runoff elections that could hand an historic victory to Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally - or produce a hung parliament and potentially months of political deadlock. The first round of voting on June 30th saw the largest gains ever for the National Rally. By 5pm on Sunday turnout was 59.7% according to France's interior ministry. www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/07/07/french-election-could-see-far-right-in-power-for-first-time-since-ww2

OH OH! France’s dissolution of parliament represents ‘return to normal,’ expert says Analysts have been trying to speculate as to why President Emmanuel Macron called a snap election. The French president’s call for a snap election has led many to question what he was hoping to gain from the poll, with Emmanuel Macron’s coalition expected to lose seats in parliament by the end of Sunday’s runoff. In a surprise to many voters, Macron announced the dissolution of parliament following a defeat in the European elections, which saw the far-right top the poll. “This decision is serious and heavy but it is above all, an act of confidence…in the capacity of the French people to make the right choice for themselves and future generations,” Macron said. www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/07/07/frances-dissolution-of-parliament-represents-return-to-normal-expert-says
