Did you mean, unless there is a deal this will often mean no left candidate over 12.5%?
Which is the limit for the second round if I understand the election system correctly.
For the legislative elections, all candidates who get a number of votes of at least 12.5% (1/8) of registered voters can run in the second round (and then the FPTP system applies).
As I mentioned in my diary 5 years ago, 3-way or even 4-way second rounds that were a rarity during the 1970s and 80s have become more prevalent with the rise of the FN as a third major party.
