French President Emmanuel Macron called a snap parliamentary election, in a game of chicken with the French people, hoping they’d swerve away from backing right-wing parties which enjoyed support in the European Union vote last month.

It has blocked the far-right from taking power but left the country with no dominant political force and the prospect of months of negotiations to form a government.

Today, Emmanuel Macron’s gamble and the political mess left behind.
