Description

National Rally party leader Marine Le Pen cast her vote in the European Parliament elections, in Henin-Beaumont, north-western France, on Sunday.

The European parliamentary elections will see more than 512 million people from 28 member states elect a total of 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) between 23-26 May.

Brexit and the rise of right-wing populism loom large over the bloc's ninth parliamentary elections since 1979, while turnout has steadily dwindled since the first elections, from 62 per cent in the inaugural elections to 43 per cent in 2014.

According to opinion polls Le Pen's National Rally is set to win around 25 percent of the vote and will thus maintain its position as the largest French party in the European Parliament.
