French Election Results: Nobody Saw It Coming, But It's Not Over Yet

It’s fair to say no one saw this one coming. While Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) wasn’t expected to secure a majority in the 577-seat-parliament, it was projected to finish first with 200-plus seats. If the early but often reliable French exit polls are to be believed, they will finish third with a maximum of 150 MPs.
