(CNN) France goes to the polls today with President Emmanuel Macron seeking the parliamentary majority he requires to bring about his political revolution. The 39-year-old's La Republique En Marche (LREM) party, is hoping to make huge gains and inflict a further blow on the country's traditional ruling parties. It would be a remarkable achievement for Macron, who won the French presidency last month without the support of a traditional mainstream party. Instead, his En Marche! Macron is now hoping his candidates, 50% of which are women, will be voted into Parliament.
