Leaders from the left-wing bloc that topped France's legislative election on Sunday and the runner-up centrists continued on Wednesday a frenzied race to try to put together rival bids to form a viable government. The unexpected outcome of the snap election, in which the left benefited from a surprise surge but no group won an absolute majority, has plunged France into uncertainty, with no obvious path to a stable government. The New Popular Front(NFP) alliance of the hard left France Unbowed, Communists, Socialists and Greens and Macron's centrists both tried to woo lawmakers from each other's camp and beyond. As French left, centrists, race to form a government, FRANCE 24's Nadia Massih is joined by Dr. Anna McKeever, Political Scientist, Lecturer in Political Science at the University of the West of Scotland and author of 'Immigration Policy and Right-Wing Populism in Western Europe'.
