French legislative elections: 'Nation rallied against National Rally', historian says "The nation rallied against the National Rally." That's the analysis from our political expert after France's legislative elections returned a hung parliament, with the far-right bloc finishing third. He says that France's left wing stood down its candidates where required, and that in the end the country as a whole chose to not endorse the far right.
