The new cabinet pulls in allies from the centre and right, despite left-wing parties winning France's election.

French President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled his new government almost three months after a snap general election delivered a hung parliament.

The long-awaited new line up, led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, marks a decisive shift to the right, even though a left-wing alliance won most parliamentary seats.

Despite the partnership between Macron’s centrist party and those on the right, parliament remains fractured and will rely on the support of other parties to pass legislation.

    Wow he is just a complete piece of shit. He went from pulling out all the stops to block FN (which I genuinely respected at the time) to just straight-arming anyone to the left of his party and crawling back to FN with his hat in his hands.

    I do hope the French people decide to engage in their favorite passtime over this bullshit.
