I'd like to know why macron was so eager to hold an election. Waiting would have benefitted the far right from a numbers perspective.

What was the point of holding elections now, if you were going to give the reigns to the far right anyway? Now he actually looks like he is subverting French democracy.

Part of me thinks he believed the initial polls that broadcasted a far right victory, and decided to go with it.
