Top Eurocrat Michel Barnier is the new French Prime Minister, appointed 60 days after President Macron’s snap election which threw French politics into disarray with a three-way-split Parliament.
While Marine Le Pen’s National Rally have sworn to be vigilant and to bring down any government that doesn’t meet their own demands, perhaps the New Popular Front , an electoral alliance of all of France’s left-wing parties from the soft social democrats all the way to the communists, is to be his greatest hurdle.
This is a serious matter for RN, who perform very strongly in French elections in the conventional sense, but are generally heavily penalised for seats in the two-round system. At the parliament-breaking election earlier this year, the RN got half as many votes again as the NFP — a major achievement — yet came away with considerably fewer seats.
