And they had asked voters to give them that so that they could appoint the prime minister, their young leader, Jordan Bardella, to be the next prime minister. But it didn't happen. They were beaten by this hastily cobbled together leftist coalition. And with record voter turnout, people told me tonight they got really scared, so they came out.
