Macron eyes next stage in revolution in Parliament vote
Expected landslide win for president's centrist party would complete his stunning reset of national politics
Paris
FRENCH voters went to the polls on Sunday in a parliamentary election set to hand a landslide victory to the centrist party of President Emmanuel Macron which would complete his stunning reset of national politics.
The new assembly is due to be transformed with a new generation of lawmakers - younger, more female and more ethnically diverse - winning seats in the afterglow of Mr Macron's success in last month's presidential election.
