Excerpt - Sebastian Budgen on Macron's defeat in France's legislative election

Sebastian Budgen returns to the show to talk about the second round
of the French legislative elections. We discussed the breakthrough
of Jean Luc Melenchon's NUPES coalition and the broader prospects
for the left following Emmanuel Macron's failure to secure a
majority. We also talked about the historic breakthrough of Marine
Le Pen's national rally and the breakdown of the so-called
Republican front against the far right. Finally, we talked about
where Emmanuel Macron goes from here, and whether or not his
Ensemble coalition will be able to ally with the conservative
Republicans, in order to pass legislation.
