FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Roughly 46 million people are eligible to vote on Sunday, choosing from a roster of more than 6,600 candidates.
France’s Socialist Party hopes to seize its first parliamentary majority in a decade. Opinion polls predict the legislative elections will be a tight race between the country’s two main political parties, France’s Socialist Party and the conservative UMP party.
Polls show leftist parties are set to get control of the assembly for the first time in a decade, and the Socialist party of President Hollande might even win an absolute majority.
Socialists are already controlling the Senate, and a majority in the lower house would give President Hollande unprecedented power to push through his reform program.
It is the first round of voting for the lower house and the run-off will be held next week as all 577 seats in the lower-house National Assembly are up for grabs.
To avoid a second-round ballot, candidates need to secure more than 50 percent of the vote.
The French president needs a left-wing majority to be able to implement the reforms he campaigned for in the presidential election.
If the UMP wins the elections, President Hollande will be forced to nominate a new premier from the rival camp and form a coalition government.
