That poll doesn't really fit the "ALL THE YOUNG FRENCHIES ARE GOING FASH" thesis we have heard rather a lot of recently........ Everything is relative - slightly higher Le Pen vote for the youngest age bracket. Like the concept that all the genders support Macron,btw |

Struggling to link to the original, but the BBC rolling feed states that only 39% of voters want Macron to win a parliamentary majority next month.
And now that's his problem. What on earth will his interim cabinet look like, and what will it look like after the election if En Marche can't progress?

And the Antifa wankers, who now call themselves the "neither-neithers", are kicking off in Paris against Macron.

Vosges 55% for Macron. Voted 29/20 for Le Pen in the first round so looks like she may not carry any departments Maybe Aisne? (I will be in France for both rounds of the Parliamentary elections ;-)) |

Meuse which was 32.3% Le Pen in the first round goes Macron (only just 51.62%) but it does. He could get the whole lot.

What on earth will his interim cabinet look like, and what will it look like after the election if En Marche can't progress? I would say that answer is to try to treat the presidency as De Gaulle intended it - as an elected monarch floating above the party political battle. He selects as PM whoever can put together a coalition and he does not insist who is in that coalition. If it breaks down he selects a new PM and tells them to form a new coalition. Whatever success En Marche has electorally simply aids him in forming a majority, it does not necessarily form the bedrock of that majority. But as President he insists on the direction of travel. |

Wish I'd been brave and put my planned £1000 bet on Macron now!  |

Wish I'd been brave and put my planned £1000 bet on Macron now! I put £500 on him whilst he was still at 9-1. I'm flicking through expensive cooker catalogues this evening. |

Corse du Sud only 50.59 for Macron. There's hope it may not be a complete white out - perhaps Le Pen could carry Var or somewhere like that

They voted for the liberal not the fascist.

Marine Le Pen can at least say she significantly outperformed her father's performance in 2002. Back then he lost by 82-18, and it was a complete shock that he denied Jospin a place in the second round.
By contrast, MLP getting into the final round came as no surprise, as indeed has her defeat today. The exit poll gap is slightly wider than earlier polls had suggested, however.

Interesting choice of music from Macron as he marches onto the stage at the Louvre.

What on earth will his interim cabinet look like, and what will it look like after the election if En Marche can't progress? It depends entirely on who else gets elected. The Valls side of the PS and the Giscardian wing of the centre right will support him. Thing is that the combined FN and Left vote is over 40%. Plenty of basis for future dissatisfaction Sense of relief that LePen lost but absolutely no time for Macron. |

Blimey, in two of the Breton departments, Macron got 77%.
