Hey pretty close 😛 

Actually with more votes being counted Macron is at 58,4%.

My final is 57.0% Macron and 43.0% le Pen. 

Not a bad prediction.

Hmm, no strong support in Brittany or the French Basque Country for La Pen, when the other separatist hotbeds largely backed her. Interesting...

Important change from 2017

This is the real final result

@Hestia predicted the right score 0,05% close.

Macron got his Reagan landslide. #Respect

Britanny has been a Macron stronghold for some reason. It strongly backed Macron in 2017.

Most of the executive power will be played during legislative elections

French left will go united in the legislative election for the first time in 10 years (Socialists Communists Mélenchon party and Greens)

I guess they decided being divided isn't such a good idea after all.

Also, Zemmour is a headscratcher. Why is the most far-right candidate in France Jewish? Not to mention there's another far-right guy called Jean Messiha who's an Egyptian.

Huge surprise in France tonight

It is the first time since...the Fourth Republic (50s) (!) that no political side (right/left) could be able to get a majority.

The Rassemblement National (Marine's party) is doing an unexpected surge, passing from 6-8 to 80-100 seats.

It's even higher than polls, depending of where LREM ends up (210 or 250 seats) the whole LR group could even not be enough to help LREM get any majority.

It's the first time that the Vth Republic produces a IVth Republic parliament.

It's unsure how France could be governed for the next five years with this parliament, but parliament should get back a lot of attention with those results.

It appears RN has broken past the unified coalition that kept them back in previous elections (even as their support grew). I wonder what kinds of implications that will have in elections going forward.

It is also to read about how the center candidates started to use the anti-RN rhetoric against the leftist block. Here as well, it’ll be interesting to see how that affects elections going forward.
