Similar to the UK almost as if it's the media that's over representing the far right
Not really. In the UK, the center-left won which was widely expected. The greens (left) did slightly better than expected. And the far-rightnot really. In the UK, the media said that the center-left labour was going to win in a landslide. And they did.
But in France, after the centrists and the left decided to not compete with each other, the left actually came out on top. Where's in the UK, the left (mostly greens) is still very marginalized.
