But he is under pressure to show he has the physical and mental capacity to defeat Republican nominee Donald Trump and serve another term as president.

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. 

After two rounds of voting, a coalition of left-wing parties won the most seats.

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.

This is episode four of Who Broke Britain? A special series from If You're Listening with Matt Bevan. 

ABC News Daily will be back tomorrow.
