Quote:
In a surprise second-round result, the left-wing New Popular Front is projected to finish ahead of Marine Le Pen’s far-right party in French parliamentary elections, according to an IPSOS estimate following runoff elections.
The New Popular Front, comprised of 5 parties, is projected to win 172 to 192 seats. At least 289 seats are needed to secure an absolute majority.
President Emmanuel Macron’s party, Ensemble, is projected to be the second largest block with 150 to 170 seats, exceeding expectations.
Le Pen’s far-right National Rally will come a close third with between 132 and 152 seats, according to the projection, a significant increase from the 89 seats won in 2022.

Fingers crossed. Hard to imagine France being run by Nazis.
