France in chaos | The News Agents

Last night the final exit polls of the French election were revealed to a collective stunned gasp.
The far-right RN party of Marine Le Pen - and Jordan Bardella - is in third place.
Macron's centrist grouping is in second place - but the dominant bloc emerging is a collective of radical left parties - with the controversial figurehead of Jean-Luc Melenchon at its helm. Macron's PM has stayed on -for now - as caretaker.
But there is a collective political fog over the shape of France’s next parliament. Has Macron's gamble paid off? Macron will argue he kept fascism at bay - but for how long?
Later, what will Labour's planning changes mean for young people trying to buy houses? Can it work?
And how does the Speaker of the house learn 334 brand new MP's names... by next week?

I live in France and life is continuing as usual. We shall wait until the new government is appointed and then carry on as before. There are always riots in large cities but they will soon die down. Things will be back to normal by the end of the week. Emily, you hit the nail on the head. This election was supposed to expose the RN before the 2027 election and prevent Le Pen becoming president. If she wins and the RN is in government than heaven help the country.

It's 100% something living up there, although with the recent high winds it could also be birds. We had a similar thing after a new roof with my yorkie going mad for no reason, and when I opened up the loft hatch I nearly got knocked off the ladder by a very angry blackbird wanting its freedom.

Election nights on French TV have always been like this. This is not a representation of the current political situation. It is complicated, it is uncertain but certainly less chaotic than 1 month ago... And just like everywhere else, the prospect of seeing a far right political party take power was extremely worrying and the promise of actual chaos.

I'd like to hear more about the infrastructure that should come along with new houses especially if they're planning on changing the planning rules as already it seems that when new developments go up they don't go up with a new GP surgery or primary school despite the number of residences indicating this is needed. Is this going to continue and get worse under this Labour government. Also wards developers still be able to bribe the council and not provide social housing in their new developments

Unless you stop massive rental companies and serial landlords from absorbing the new stock, house prices and rent will not come down

@BlaizeV 15 күн бұрын

The poorest in society need homes. The majority of people who work minimum wage will never ever ever be able to afford to buy and their lives are being made miserable by pushed into private rent where it's common for old houses to be 'converted' into dystopian flats. The country needs to build and remodel on a truly epic scale. We need a replacement of the council housing stock that was sold off as well as a few million more new houses. Also need a cap on rents in the meantime.

@fabfran4104 16 күн бұрын

Are there enough builders to build these houses? I'm talking about carpenters, bricklayers, electricians etc. The quality of building on some new estates is sometimes shoddy to say the least.

@jujutrini8412 15 күн бұрын

Everyone I know who has bought a new build in the last decade have had major problems with their work! Every single one! So much so that I have vowed never to buy a new build house because the way that the builders deal with the problems are just ridiculous. Some of them own up immediately but dilly dally with remedying the situation, some dilly dally in owning up and then proceed to make the problems worse, some I know have had to move out for months so the work can be done etc. The stories I could tell.

Help to buy was demand side which, pushes prices up as you have more money chasing the same amount of houses. Building more houses is supply side.

@enjoysilence4146 16 күн бұрын

Not sure if I'm being dumb or if the guest brought on to discuss housing doesn't understand supply and demand in the housing market. The example of Help to Buy not reducing house prices doesn't function as an example as that scheme was the government supporting demand, not increasing supply so has nothing to do with building more houses. Despite her citing otherwise all economists ive seen have agreed that an increase in building houses of any type and price will lead to an overall slowing or reduction of house prices.

France may or may not work out a power sharing coalition Government. Many countries have them. UK did not too long ago. So, to be so dramatic as to imply long term chaos is not news. It is "click bait". It's been a few days. Give them a chance.
