Polls open in French legislative elections

None

French voters choose lawmakers for the lower house of parliament Sunday, in a poll that will determine whether new President Francois Hollande's Socialists or rival conservatives control the government.

 

The elections, followed by runoffs a week later, will also show whether Hollande can push his tax-the-rich, down-with-austerity agenda, and how much of a voice the far right will have in policies on immigration and Muslim practices. (AP)
