As France on Sunday (July 7) holds its potentially 'seismic' snap legislative elections, far-right National Rally (RN) leader Jordan Bardella looks poised to become the prime minister. This significant feat at the young age of 28 depends on his party securing a majority, which, as per exit polls, is a huge possibility.

The 2024 French elections are the most significant in years. This is the first time in years that the Anti-immigration National Rally (RN) of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella has had a realistic chance of not only running the government, but also grabbing outright control of the National Assembly.
