With France's far right at the gates of power will French voters let them in?

France has voted in the first round of the snap parliamentary poll - an election considered one of the most pivotal in recent French history.


This week, we explain the results, look ahead at what happens over the next few days and what Sunday's second round will bring. Can the far-right get a majority government or will the so-called Republican Front hold firm once again? President Emmanuel Macron is running out of options but what will he do next?


We'll also explain how the far-right's policies on French preference and dual nationality would impact foreign residents.


To answer all these crucial questions and to help explain the messy state of play in France, host Ben McPartland will call on our team at The Local - Emma Pearson and Gen Mansfield as well as our French politics expert John Lichfield.
