I heard that both Macron and Le Pen are outside of the normal French main parties, though, so the anti-establishment and populism surge is real in France. Just not the right-wing populism.
I don't know, Le Pen wiped out and overtook all but 3 conservative heartland seats, if she keeps up alliance with Dupont they might become the new main opposition in legislative elections, it's hard to say.
Also the register but stay at home vote at 35% and register, go to the polls and spoil your ballot at 9%! Up dramatically from last year, there is mass dissatisfaction with the political status quo.
