French State of Emergency

Will the French parliament decide to extend the current state of emergency beyond the end of 2015?
Yes: 90%

Following the terrorist attacks on Friday, the French government declared a temporary state of emergency (see articles here and here).  The government is asking the French parliament to extend the state of emergency for another three months.  As far as I can tell, parliament is very likely to agree to this request; I've seen no evidence that it is particularly controversial, although it does not seem to be in line with historical practice.
