People are calling the French parliamentary elections a Massive win for the left.

As someone that knows nothing about french politics it doesn't look that way to a layman.

New popular front (left) - 182 seats

Macron's centrist party - 163 seats 

National front (far-right) - 143 seats

Republicans (right) - 68 seats

Other left (not part of the NPF) - 11 seats 

Other - 10 seats.


Help me out here, but it still looks like Macron has a lot of power. If he works with the national front they have a majority together.

If he works with the new popular front they have a majority together.

But either way they both need macron's centrist party.

Why are people seemingly sure the left can implement their agenda? Eg. Macron will cave to the left?

Its America's 2020 all over again, we all crab-raved and paraded in the streets when Biden won, then proceeded to watch him over the course of 4 years do everything Trump tried to do. Wouldn't be surprised if all the leftists that got elected becomes status quo bootlickers when they're sworn in.

Socialists were warning about Biden since before the election, youre thinking of libs that say "im far left myself but..."

You're incorrect if you think biden was just as unpopular amongst the left now than he was in 2020 when he won.
