Marine Le Pen could be her best chance of power yet as head of France ’s far-right National Rally .

Pushing for a no-confidence vote is a high-stakes moment for Le Pen , says Prof Armin Steinbach .

She may be tantalisingly close to power now - but she is having to make big choices.

As his presidency looks ever weaker, it is Le Pen who appears to have the upper hand.

Jordan Bardella is already considered more popular than Le Pen both within National Rally and beyond, and if Macron does see out his term, the 29-year-old party chief would be favourite to run in 2027 . No French government has fallen after a no-confidence vote since 1962 . Get this wrong and Le Pen may not be forgiven next time France goes to the ballot box..
