By offering voters a starker choice and fewer candidates, RN's opponents hope that the electorate will opt for the non-RN candidate.
"For instance, former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has said voters should vote neither for the RN nor candidates from the far-left France Unbowed (LFI) party.
At the same time, current Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has called for everyone to vote against the RN."
If the choice was between a far-left and far-right candidate, however, the picture was more nuanced, showing a split vote.
