 Emmanuel Macron's snap election is blowing up in his face. Yesterday's first round of voting has given France's once-too-far-right-to-admit-you-voted-for-them national rally a commanding lead. They're followed by an alliance of parties on the left, with Mr. Macron's Renaissance Party bringing up the rear. The centre-right and centre-left parties are now scrambling to negotiate a last-ditch plan to block the national rally from taking an outright majority in the second round of voting six days from now.
