Rather key point. (Recalling how well Farage’s Brexit Party did in 2019, winning 29 seats and 30% of vote). Not an exact analogy but point is national and EU elections not same.
Katy Lee - @katyinparis on Bluesky@kjalee

French parliamentary elections do not use the same electoral system as European elections. To win a seat as a deputé you have to win 50% in the first round, or if not face a run-off. Upshot: it’s a lot harder for a far-right candidate to win a seat in the national parliament

Macron's snap election is a bold call, but no doubt a risky one either way. From Yves Bertoncini, an independent consultant in EU affairs: “It’s not just a gamble, it’s audacious. Usually, players who make a move like this don’t have many cards left”
