An absolute majority flight, two protesters devoted as the first groups of oppositions, a president of the defeated National Assembly … On the evening of the second round of the legislative elections, the logic of the majority ballot fell for all sides under pressure abstention and an erratic campaign between brilliance and invective. Unpublished thing under the V e Republic and even more since 2002 and the reform of the electoral calendar, the hemicycle will embody the complexity of a fragmented political landscape.

Together! Obtains 246 seats, the new social and ecological popular union (Nuts), 142, The National Rally (RN), 89, The Les Républicains Party and the Union of Democrats and Independents (UDI), 64, the left out of Nuts, 13 .
