How can a new government be formed or at the least be workable? Not one of the top three alliances will work with each other. See if you can successfully build a parliamentary majority with this simulator provided by Le Figaro https://www.lefigaro.fr/elections/legislatives/resultats-legislatives-tentez-de-composer-une-majorite-absolue-avec-notre-simulateur-de-coalitions-20240708 If by some miracle a cohabitation IV emerges, with an NFP PM, he could not govern. He'd have (to try) to rule by decree, which can only be done in a handful of areas, and the decree must be co-signed by the President. Macron will not sign off on NFP proposals built to undo virtually all of his hard-fought reforms, especially with regard to pensions. Every other area is subject to majority approval from a three-split assembly (in other words, there's not a chance in a freezed-over hell that any NFP-proposed rule, regulation or law will be passed). An NFP-led government would be powerless and made to look ridiculous - all show and tell, fire and brimstone.
For strategic reasons, Mélenchon should rescind his demand for an NFP government - it is guaranteed to fail, and its failure will destroy his alliance at the ballot box.
