Without the majority they were expecting, the far right was the main loser of the French legislative elections according to a political analyst on Monday. The outcome left France, a pillar of the European Union and Olympic host country, facing the stunning prospect of a hung parliament and political paralysis. (AP Video shot by Nicholas Garriga)
