    France Elections

    Nobody expected this. High drama, for sure, but this was a shock. When the graphics flashed up on all the big French channels, it was not the far right of Marine Le Pen and her young prime minister-in-waiting Jordan Bardella who were on course for victory. It was the left who had clinched it...

    France Elections

    An alliance of French left-wing parties was on course Sunday to beat the “far” right and President Emmanuel Macron's coalition in a stunning outcome to parliamentary elections that plunges France into new political uncertainty. No one group won an absolute majority in the second round of the...
