Le Monde breaks it down amazingly well:
—Left candidates:
132 dropped out
5 did not drop out in districts with an RN threat
—Macronists:
81 dropped out
16 didn't in "threat" districts
—Conservatives didn't care:
3 dropped out
12 didn't

are the conservatives remaining in expected to help RN more or the left coalition more/where would their voters have been likely to go otherwise?

Gaullists allying with Vichyists. Go back fifty years and try and explain that, LOL.

Those respective proportions are exactly what I’d’ve expected. Fucking right-wingers man (I’m including the president’s party in this designation of course)

This amount of coalescing against the far-right by no means looked certain as of a week ago. While it can't just erase Macronists' extraordinarily equivocating 'pox on both houses' rhetoric during the campaign, it does make it a lot harder for the far-right to win on Sunday.

Maybe not so bad that conservatives stayed in. Their voters just as likely to go to RN as to Macron, and more likely if RN vs left.

How does the number / percentage of dropouts compare to previous elections with a strong RN showing?
