 Despite receiving 1.7 million fewer votes than Le Pen's party, the new Popular Front was awarded the most seats of any party. Currently projected by Le Monde at 182, Macron's coalition won an estimated 168. Despite coming in first in terms of the vote share, the conservatives and his partners were awarded the third most seats with 143. So they rigged the election over there. France is a bellwether for America, by the way.
