 Official results from the first round of legislative voting in France shows the far right in the lead. Nationalists and anti-immigrant politics have become that much more prominent, with the National Rally Party's victory yesterday ahead of a coalition of left-wing parties. President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Renaissance Party and allies ended in third place. This was the gamble. Macron had called for snap elections, betting the National Rally Party would not repeat its recent gain in the European Parliament election.
