Although the projection is better than what I was dreading, it's still not over until the last results are in. With that being said, if these projections are right, the current and upcoming French government should really start thinking about how to combat the far right. Incidentally it's the same task the new Labour government should also do.
The new Labour government is basically the political equivalent of Macron only in some ways further to the Right (for example, they support Israel).
That party is controlled by the neoliberal faction who brought down Corbyn with a smear campaign orchestrated with the Tories and most of the British Press and who have even been busy kicking out from the party any lefties.
There's not a single leftie bone in the leadership of that party and the party is now straightforward Right (per broader European standards, it's not even Center-Right).
If one is in any way form of shape left of center, Britain's Election results isn't anywhere the level of good news that the French Election results are (if the polls are right).
