French voters headed to the polls yesterday for the first round of parliamentary elections. Exit polls show the nationalist-populist National Rally in the lead with 33% of the vote as turnout approached 70%, the highest in 40 years.
French President Emmanuel Macron called snap elections last month when the National Rally defeated centrists in the European Union’s parliamentary elections (see previous write-up). Observers suggest that decision backfired, with Macron’s centrist Together for the Republic coalition now trailing in third place (22%) after the left-wing New Popular Front (29%).
On July 7, leading candidates without an outright majority will advance to a second round of elections to determine the makeup of France’s 577-member National Assembly (see overview). Macron has vowed to remain president until 2027 regardless of the results; however, if the National Rally places first on Sunday, Macron will appoint a prime minister from the party as part of a power-sharing system.

Everybody I come across thinks that wars are fought for moral reasons. They think wars are fought over the issue of Right versus Wrong or Good versus Bad. At first this shocked me and I realised that indeed everyone has been conditioned to think like this.
