Macron set for win in French vote

French president Emmanuel Macron’s 14-month-old party appears set to win a huge majority in parliamentary elections tomorrow.

Such a victory would enable him to meet one of his most emblematic campaign promises - to bring new faces into politics.

The candidates for the president’s En Marche movement include a village schoolteacher, a farmer, a maths genius and a female bullfighter.

While some worry that the new National Assembly will be full of people whose only common ideology is loyalty to the pro-business, pro-european president, many voters seem excited about Macron’s promise to renew France’s political landscape.
