Emmanuel Macron has been dealt a major hammer blow today after suffering a devastating loss in the French parliamentary elections.
A left-wing alliance has won the most seats in the French Parliament in Sunday's second-round elections, however, France is headed towards a hung parliament after no party came close to winning an absolute majority.
In the run-up to the election, voters were told to vote for parties they would usually not support in a bid to block Le Pen's National Rally from power.
A number of campaigners were attacked ahead of the vote with some 30,000 police deployed on voting day.
