PARIS (Reuters) - For investors and pundits it is the big question-mark hanging over Emmanuel Macron; the 39-year-old centrist looks certain to win a runoff for the French presidency, but how can his one-year-old upstart party win the parliamentary majority six weeks later that he needs to implement his programme?

Jean-Paul Delevoye, the political veteran in charge of making that happen, says the palpable disarray of France's two traditional governing parties has opened up the space for En Marche! (Onwards!) to do just that.
