Does this mean there will be an unwilling alliance of Left and the Centrist
forces or alternatively Macron allying with the Right? Anyway, it points to a
period of instability and another round of elections.

Surprise win for leftwing alliance predicted in French election exit poll
Marine Le Pen’s National Rally falls into third place despite strong showing in
first round of voting
By Angelique Chrisafis in Paris/The Guardian/Sun 7 Jul 2024
A leftwing alliance was on track to become the biggest force in the French
parliament on Sunday after tactical voting held back the far right, but the
shape of the future government remained uncertain after no group looked set for
an absolute majority.
The surprise result for the left – which was projected to win up to 192 seats,
followed by president Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance and the far right in
third – showed the strength of tactical voting against Marine Le Pen’s
far-right National Rally (RN). The far right and its allies had forged a
commanding lead in the first round but were ultimately held back by massive
tactical voting to prevent them winning enough seats to form a government.
Although the left alliance was slightly ahead, it was projected to be at least
100 seats short of an absolute majority. Amid a high turnout estimated at about
67%, no single group was predicted to win an absolute majority of 289 seats and
form a government. The parliament was likely to be divided into three blocs:
the left, centrists and the far right.
