French Legislative Election 2017

Just an inquiry: why Cazeneuve don't serve for one more month as caretaker PM until the results of the parliamentary election have become solid?

Anyway, EM is likely to get around 285-300 seats, I bet. Chunks of PS deputies might actually be defecting.

It has become increasingly intriguing that EM could have a comfortable majority of 400-410 seats in the Parliament whilst traditional lefties and righties are both reduced to marginal levels.

PS, which suffered from a catastrophe in this string of elections since its foundation, can actually be foreseen to be absorbed into EM largely (around 70-80%).
