It wasn't the swing to the far right many had expected, but President Emannuel Macron's decision to call a snap election in the wake of the European poll in June doesn't appear to have done his centrist Ensemble group much good. Unexpectedly it was the left leaning New Popular Front that took the most seats - but not enough for an outright majority.

So what does this mean for the future of France - both at home and on the global stage?

In this edition of the Agenda, Juliet Mann looks at how the result might shape France's future with Renaud Foucart, Senior Lecturer in Economics at Lancaster University, Jacques Reland, Senior Research Fellow at the Global Policy Institute, and Nabila Ramdani, French-Algerian journalist and author of "Fixing France: How to Repair a Broken Republic."
