Bardella, Macron, Le Pen Vote In Historic Elections That May See Far-Right Govt Take Over In France

Voters in France are heading to the polls today for a parliamentary election that could usher in the country's first far-right government since the Second World War.
France has a semi-presidential system, which means it has both a president and a prime minister.
The voting taking place today will determine who is prime minister but not president, with Mr Macron already set on remaining in his role until the end of his term in 2027.
If Ms Le Pen's party wins an absolute majority, France would have a government and president from opposing political camps for only the fourth time in post-war history.
Her protege 28-year-old Jordan Bardella would be prime minister if the party wins outright.
As of midday (11am UK time) the turnout stood at 25.9%, which is a higher participation rate than any of the five previous parliamentary elections this century at this stage.

La vidéo nous fait voir nos hommes et femme politique qui vont votés, les journalistes leur demande s ils sont confiant, madame le pen, dit qu elle est d un naturel optimiste et d attendre les résultats du soir, elle avait raison d être optimiste. Et macron dit pas grand chose. Et bardella dit pas grand chose non plus. Vous êtes d où ?
