Tahar 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 🇺🇳 🇪🇺: So what’s now, you ask? The NFP doesn’t have a majority, but holds the largest number of seats. So, it’ll need to cobble together enough seats to reach 298. That means NFP will have to negotiate with Div.G & Ensemble to form a coalition & governing majority. There will be a LOT of horse-trading

#France: The coalition of Left did very well. I predicted they’d become the 2nd largest group in the parliament, I was wrong. They are the 1st group now with between 172-192 seats. It’s a cohabitation scenario, & Macron will have to share power with NFP. Big question: will Mélenchon be the next PM?

One more thing: Jean-Luc Melenchon might not want to be a PM bc that’s a poisoned gift. He will for sure run for president, & he doesn’t want his popularity to be tarnished by being a PM in a cohabitation gov like Chirac was in 1986, & was then defeated in 88 by Mitterrand.

Correction: the majority is 289, not to 298.
