France is in for "a lot more fireworks to come" after President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance lost its absolute majority in parliament in Sunday's elections. That's the view of Andrew Smith from Chichester University in the UK. He say the French parliament could be a lame duck if Emmanuel Macron "takes a hostile attitude" towards it. Smith says the immediate challenge for the president is to see if he can form some sort of working majority with the conservative Les Républicains, who are now kingmakers, or whether the latter "will hold out and remain a party of opposition".
