French Socialists win parliamentary elections
French President's Hollande's Social Party got the vast majority in parliamentary elections, exit polls indicated on Sunday. The Socialist party took 314 out of 577 seats while its main competitor Sarkozy's Popular Movement gained 228 places. The victory provides Socialists with a control over almost all French political institutions starting from presidency to lower and upper houses of parliament.
