Macron loses his majority w/ Sebastian Budgen
Added 2022-06-22 13:17:29 +0000 UTCSebastian Budgen returns to the show to talk about the second round of the French legislative elections. We discussed the breakthrough of Jean Luc Melenchon's NUPES coalition and the broader prospects for the left following Emmanuel Macron's failure to secure a majority. We also talked about the historic breakthrough of Marine Le Pen's national rally and the breakdown of the so-called Republican front against the far right.
Finally, we talked about where Emmanuel Macron goes from here, and whether or not his Ensemble coalition will be able to ally with the conservative Republicans, in order to pass legislation.

Sebastian is such an engaging speaker. Pure lyricism. Also hilarious - ‘Gammonist’ 😀
