tl;dr: Macaroni's prime minister lost a vote of confidence and now the government is toast.
Macaroni's strategic alliance with the far-left during the last election to defeat the right backfired spectacularly. The left backstabbed him and the right resents him.
Yup, Macron did this to himself. Commies can't be trusted to keep their word, and any doubts the Right may have had about Macron being a weasel are gone. Le Pen should let him stew in the mess he made. He wanted to be butt buddies with back stabbing commies, and it's time to force him to live with the results of that decision.
another thing he lost by calling these early elections... is the ability to threaten the parliament to call an early parliamentary election.
parliamentary elections can only be called once a year.
so now he can't threaten them into not kicking out his prime minister. and what do you know, on the first opportunity they got, they voted the government out.
