France's Far Right Runs In Third Place In Snap Elections.

PARIS (AP) ā€” A coalition on the left that came together unexpectedly ahead of Franceā€™s snap elections won the most parliamentary seats in the vote, according to polling projections Sunday. The surprise projections put President Emmanuel Macronā€™s centrist alliance in second and the far right in third.


The lack of majority for any single alliance threatened to plunge France into political and economic turmoil. Final results are not expected until late Sunday or early Monday in the highly volatile snap election, which was called just four weeks ago in a huge gamble for Macron.

It does not appear to have paid off for the deeply unpopular president, whose alliance has lost control of parliament, according to the projections. Marine Le Penā€™s far-right National Rally greatly increased the number of seats it holds, meanwhile, but fell far short of expectations.

Far-left leader Jean-Luc MĆ©lenchon urged Macron to invite the leftist New Popular Front coalition to form a government, given projections that put it in the lead. The alliance, he said, ā€œis ready to govern.ā€
Talk about tyrantical...the leftist president doen't like election results, calls them off, and calls for another.

This is what the Demafascsits want in this country
