France Post-Election Prediction: The NFP won't get their preferred prime minister because Macron will stonewall them and try to get one of his handpicked guys in, the NFP concedes by letting a guy from the neoliberal socialist party (which is the second largest party in the coalition people moderate your expectations please) be prime minister, which macron would likely be ok with, this means that the NFP won't actually be able to implement half of that program everybody is praising beause there's no way Hollande's fucking party is going to do price controls of all things. Sooner or later, citing a need for governability, the socialists will split from Melenchon and the NFP and join Macron and the Gaullist right, which between the 3 of them they have enough seats to govern, maybe the greens too.
Either that or Macron governs with the far-right.
That being said forming the NFP was probably the right decision since there was so little time to mount an electoral campaign, but as to whether these election results constitute a big W or a w it's still too soon to tell, especially since this coalition (NUPES) collapsed before due to internal disagreements that can't really be solved
In his heart yes, but circunstances have forced his hand to do otherwise
