At least 289 seats are needed for a parliamentary majority, and National Rally is predicted to get between 260 and 295 seats.
The latest poll suggests that the far right has around 36 percent of the vote as France prepares for the parliamentary elections, the first round of which is on Sunday.
The second round will be held on the following Sunday, 7 July. If National Rally wins, France will have the first far-right government since it was occupied by the Nazis in the Second World War.
“The latest poll suggests that the far right has around 36 percent”
That suggests to me that all the other parties will form a majority via a coalition.
You gotta love the far right-lads.
Instead of far right let’s say freakin right!
Most probably a typo in the title. On the other hand, maybe the “far right lads” are the European equivalent of our “good ol’ boys”.
🙂
I think they meant to say “lags”
That would require Marcon to climb in bed with the communists and their allies. I don't think that's a bridge he can cross.
The right is polling in first place, The socialists, communists and greens in second, and the current ruling coalition is third.

Actual title of article:
Far-right leads in latest poll ahead of France’s legislative elections.
Bring on the far-right lasses.
The NAZIs were leftists.
Socialists, to be exact.
Yes, and at the time, nearly everyone considered them to be Leftists, including Stalin.
“That suggests to me that all the other parties will form a majority via a coalition.“
It does. This happens a lot. That’s how Fidel jr. got back in. They will have only themselves to blame if that is what happens.
If they get a majority of seats, then they do not need a coalition.
If multiple parties are running for a seat, then the party with the most votes gets it, even if under 50%
Europe is different from US two-party system
“Far” right.
“Far Right” tr: anyone not to the left of Chairman Mao.
Far right, extreme right, alt right.
If you are not willing to express shame for your ancestors building the greatest country on earth or wacking your Willy off and saying you are a non-menstruating woman you are one of those.
