Meanwhile in France, Macron's 'plan' to neutralise the Far Right by installing a near right 'coalition' has merely resulted in Marine Le Pen being the 'kingmaker' of current French politics, demanding concessions from Macron's place-man Barnier as he heads towards next week's finalised budget.

If she does exercise her power & wins a no-confidence vote, France's political troubles will deepen.

Q. does this help Le Pen's likely fourth attempt to take the Presidency?
