FRANCE - Voting began on Sunday in the French parliamentary elections and the result could reflect an unprecedented move to the right in what could lead to the most conservative parliament since the country was liberated in WWII, experts say.

The reasons come down to unhappiness with immigration, a weak economy, a cost-of-living crisis and dissatisfaction with the current centrist government, especially among younger voters.

"Right now, France is seeing its biggest shift to the right," Matthew Tyrmand, adviser to conservative political candidates and parties across Europe told Fox News Digital. "This is democracy at work—the people are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore."
