President Emmanuel Macron's political rise has been given another boost after his centrist parliamentary coalition claimed a landslide 350 seats out of a total of 577.

This was formed by his own young party, La République En Marche! (REM), in alliance with the Democratic Movement (MoDem).
Together, these two parties secured 49.1 per cent of the vote in the second round of the French parliamentary election - equating to 60.7 per cent of the seats in the National Assembly
