According to initial estimates, the Nouveau Front Populaire left-wing alliance is projected to win between 172 and 192 seats in France's Assemblée Nationale, ahead of Macron's coalition (between 150 and 170) and the far-right Rassemblement National (between 132 and 152).
How did it turn around so much?

Oh they have runoff elections? Jolly good, mate. I feel like celebrating with a cup of tea. Make that with an espresso and croissant I guess.
Espresso is Italian and croissant is (technically) Austrian but we appreciate the sentiment all the same! Cheers!
Baguette and… err… wine it is!
It didn’t. It’s a two-round system. It’s one thing to win a plurality in round one, it’s another to win a majority in round two.
This is exactly how it’s been going for the last N elections.
Except usually in Macron’s favor. But yeah, as soon as the choices shrink, people unify behind whoever is countering the Nazi cunt.
