They can't even get their whole alliance to vote for it.
What a show of weakness

Mélanchon is upset that Le Penn is not joining forces with him, but neither want responsibility.
The big problem is what happens to Macron's party: his natural constituency are centre-left voters or social democrats, so relying on the republicans would undercut this.
Macron should form a coalition with the UDC or Republicans they are the only party that can realistically form a coalition with Macrons party they are not far apart ideologically.
Imagine that France would negotiate like the rest of the EU and form a coalition government. It's not so hard to do. We do it already for more than 70 years.
Big chance there, they blew it !!
Indeed brexit is no Ukexit

This is the first French Parliament (under the fifth Republic) to have a hung parliament, in which Coalition/Bloc Government has been formed. And the most paralyzed Parliament since 1986. If neither the Left nor the Right have interest in working with the Centrist Minority Government, then there's no question I believe a snap election will be called sometime in the next year.
This is not health for the people of France, who need a stable government, and functionable parliament.
