Macron's Next Steps: French president-elect is redrawing the political landscape (part 1)

Description

It's been two days since Emmanuel Macron made history, becoming the first man to reach the French presidency without the help of an established party, or even having ever held elected office. But now that the confetti has settled, Macron must figure out how to rule, ideally with a majority in parliament even though he currently controls not a single seat. So how does he get there? And is his win just a hiccup in the business-as-usual of France's two main political parties?
