    French politicians surprised by swing to the left as parliamentary polls close — as it happened

    French politicians are surprised by a swing to the left as parliamentary polls close, despite a predicted far-right surge. Look back at how it all unfolded.

    The surprise projections put President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance in second and the far right in third.
