France heading for deadlock
Macron’s decision to call a snap election looks to be backfiring badly. The latest polls are:
- National Rally (right) 36%
- New Popular Front (left) 29%
- Together (centre) 21%
- Republicans (centre-right) 7%
So his faction looks to get barely 20% and the hard right and hard left will get over 60% between them meaning the new Government will need one of them in it.
The next Prime Minister could be Jordan Bardella, who is only 28 years old.
