France 24's Kethevane Gorjestani gives her take on the candidates' performances.
One party has transformed the general election race, with Nigel Farage announcing several weeks ago that he would not only stand as a Reform UK candidate but would lead it for the next five years. The polls moved quickly in the days that followed with his party rising up the rankings. Now, however, there is doubt over its state in the final week of campaigning.

Marine Le Pen was quick to claim an historic victory as her National Rally came first in yesterday’s first round of the legislative elections, with 33 per cent of the vote.

The oddity of European politics is that Britain is moving sharply to the Left while most of the Continent is moving even further to the Right. In Britain, young people and even the middle aged are abandoning Conservatism. Elsewhere in Europe, the young are the pillars of a radical Right-wing upsurge.
