Finally the left prevail. And the Far right, got 3rd place. BUT, still 9 millions peoples voted for them, which is a lot in 60 million population. An interesting point in the article is that Macron hoped to create a strong Moderate party (which seems reasonable).. there never was a strong middle party in France historically (only strong left and strong right, like Democrat and Republican). And curiously what happened, is that, the left and right disappeared in a few years, and got replaced with far left and far right. Very telling about human mind, somehow.
