Le Pen’s Party Wins Big in First Round of French Election
France24 TV: Right-wing “National Rally party is estimated to win between 230 and 280 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly.”
France’s right-wing National Rally is expected to emerge as the single largest party in the first round of the parliamentary election. National Rally led by its new leader, 28-year-old Jordan Bardella, will secure nearly 34 percent of the vote, followed by the newly formed alliance of leftist and Marxist parties, the New Popular Front, which secured 28.5 percent, polls released after Sunday vote show.
“According to an estimate by French polling institute Ipsos Talan, the far-right National Rally party is estimated to win between 230 and 280 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly,” the TV channel France24 reported.
This is few seats short of the 289-mark needed to form the government in the 577-seat National Assembly parliament. National Assembly’s possible post-election coalition partner, the conservative Republicans, is set to get between 41-61 seats with 10 percent of the vote share, early polls indicate.
The French news agency AFP, however, reported National Rally gaining majority in the first round of the vote. “The polling agencies projected this would give the RN a majority of seats in the 577-seat National Assembly after the second round and a possible absolute majority,” the news agency reported.
“The second biggest group is projected to be the leftist New Popular Front, with between 125 and 165 seats, and President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Ensemble at between 70 and 100 seats,” the France24 TV.

President Emmanuel Macron Ensemble party was trailing at the third place with some 20 percent. President Macron called the snap elections after his party was trounced by the National Rally in the recent European Union election.
This is the first times a right-wing nationalist party has come close to forming a government on its own in a major European power since World War II. Amid open borders and surging migrant crime, the right-wing parties emerged as the third biggest force in this month’s European election, behind the socialist and conservative blocs, winning nearly a quarter of the 720 seats.
Alternative for Germany (AfD) party came second in the recent EU election, with 16 percent of the vote. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is polling at 19 percent ahead of the next week’s general election.
French left scrambling after right-wing win
The left-wing parties are trying to join forces to reverse the National Rally’s gains in the second round of voting set for July 7.
“Jean-Luc Mélenchon, founder of left-wing party La France Insoumise (France Unbowed), told supporters that the party will withdraw candidates in second-round three-way races in an effort to block the far-right National Rally from legislative power,” the France-based Euronews TV reported.
Le Pen: French voters ‘wiped out Macron camp’
Long-time National Rally leader Marine Le Pen urged the voters to give her party an ‘absolute majority’ in the second round, which party’s prime ministerial candidate Jordan Bardella will need to form a government without support from other parties.
The BBC reported Le Pen remarks following the early results:
The National Rally’s Marine Le Pen has just addressed cheering supporters in her northern constituency of Henin-Beaumont.
“Democracy has spoken and the French have put the RN and its allies at the top, practically wiping out the Macron camp,” she says.
She adds that people clearly want to “turn the page after seven years of scornful and corrosive rule” and asks people to vote for the RN again next Sunday in the second round.
“We need an absolute majority so that [RN leader] Jordan Bardella can be appointed prime minister in a week’s time,” she adds.
Leftist rioting feared after election loss
Meanwhile, the stunning right-wing victory triggered leftist meltdown and street rioting.
Refusing to accept the election outcome, leftists and migrant gangs went on rampage in cities across France, social media posts suggest.

It’s worth mentioning … If you refuse to accept the will of the people, YOU are the ones with the problem🔥

They’re boarding up windows in France due to polls indicating Le Pen’s party will win the election they’re having today. While the left will go nuts for a week or so, Le Pen winning would be a massive moment in global politics.

Good news: LePen’s party wins big
More good news: LeBiden’s party is circling the drain
LeBiden’s party is circling the drain. Maybe the LeTrudeau, too. As Ross said, that big sucking ….sound might be the “Big Flush”
There’s a plumber’s truck someplace here in town. On the side it says a straight flush beats a royal house anytime and then the phone number of the plumber.
Very Interesting. Maybe best is yet to come.
Repeat after me: LePen, Farage, Trump.
Those who vote for these three are far right.
“Far right” – a pejorative term used by the globalists/NWO and their thug enforcers to describe normal, common-sense based people who are sick of the destruction of their society by the left and by Muslim immigrants who are not grateful in the least but rather are bent on imposing their hideous Shariah on everyone.
Left wing riots? C’mon man…those are just spontaneous mostly peaceful gatherings.
Kinetic street parties.
Populist movements making headway against self-dealing global elites …
… but Leftists never quit … National Rally won the first round … another round to come … and of course the rioting and looting.
Good luck to all of us.
Maybe the French cops will shoot arsonists and looters, unlike our cops.
577 Representatives for 65: million people.
435 Congressmen for over 315 million people.
Just thinking out loud
I have frequently said that we need to follow the Constitution and get as close to One Representative for 30,000 people.
With a population of 341,804,624, that would mean more than 11,000 Representatives
I would settle for perhaps 2,000. At least that would be closer representation. .
If nothing else, 11,000 representatives would certainly dilute the amount of graft money being paid by various interests.
