Summary: Two weeks after the second round of France’s parliamentary elections, it was still far from clear who or what could form a new French government. On Sunday July 7th, the hastily-constructed Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) left-wing alliance came out first, the centrist bloc second, and the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) third. Public opinion might be more fragmented than ever, but candidates and voters were disciplined enough to rally against the RN in many constituencies. then it was up to the newly-elected or re-elected MPs to find a way of making Parliament function – in a political system, and a culture, that has been dominated since 1958 by presidential supremacy. Almost two weeks after the snap vote called by Emmanuel Macron “to clarify the situation”, the scene could only be described as murky and chaotic. |
