Conservatives were supposed to sweep up in France and UK and they both now have left wing parties in charge.

The landscape is pretty different, all the left wing parties formed an alliance and the "centrist" party agreed with them to remove candidates that would split the vote and they only did that for the second turn.

Over here that would involve the Liberals, NDP, Bloc and Greens doing the same thing but we don't have a second turn!

Right now, France doesn't.

Left wing parties made an alliance to defeat the RN but they didn't get the majority, and Macron is trying to find a way to designate a PM from the center
