 Yes, the first round results are now in. What do they tell us about which way this election is headed? Well, the first thing to note is that it looks as though Emmanuel Macron's gamble to call this snap poll has backfired spectacularly. The far-right National Rally has emerged with around 33% of the vote, meaning they could win 230 to 280 seats next Sunday. That's up from their current tally of just 88. The upper end of that projection could put them within shouting distance of an overall majority, for which a party needs 289 seats.
