They're perfectly comfortable with accepting socialism as an economic system -- but they do not like its effect on their culture.
Potential to overturn the homosexual agenda soon?
The “Far Right” in France is Pro-Iran, they are not our friends.
Far right wing in France = Barack Obama
Americans don't like the effect socialism has, either. Neither socially nor economically.
Its just that we have much less a voice than the French in our corrupt political system.
In a fairly homogenous country with everyone having the same values, especially an ingrained work ethic, socialism in small doses could be ok.
In a multi-cultural society, it’s a recipe for disaster.
Ping.
This is good news for Euro skeptic nationalists across Europe.
Basically they agree with Adolph Hitler's philosophy and they are the ideological children of the national socialists, but they'll complain when the trains show up.
These are the off-year or mid-term or byelections of French politics. The National Front only fielded 600 candidates out of a possible 36,000 (it sez here) so naturally they ran in places where they knew they’d do well. They can’t win nationally, and have peaked under the elder Le Pen.
Hollande turned out to be not so bad, other than the egregious tax hike and the quasi-legal persecution of Sarkozy and other political enemies (sound familiar?). Like Frenchmen in general, he’s a lech, and is going through a sex scandal right now. His main downfall is his failure to do anything about the growth of militant Islam in France. Muzzie violence is getting more and more flagrant. It’s getting toward the time when the troops have to be brought out, we’ll see if he has some of de Gaulle in him.
Thanks DeaconBenjamin.
The National Front is a typical European rightist party—anti-Jewish, and pro-moslem. Just like Hungary’s Jobbik Party, which is rumored to receive funding from Iran.
That's not what "far right" means in a European context.
I think NF is opposed though, right?
I think you are very wrong. And even if they were, they are still rabidly anti-Jewish.
The European Right isn't interested in the One True G-d. They're interested in the "ways of their ancestors," whether those ways be "chrstian" or pagan.

...Many people who voted for President Hollande two years ago chose to abstain, which has meant losses for the Socialists, our correspondent notes, and in many important towns they will struggle in the second round to hold off challenges from the main centre-right UMP opposition party.
Earlier, pollsters identified half a dozen towns that could see National Front rule as a result of the elections, giving it the chance to show it can be trusted with power after attempts to run four towns in the late 1990s revealed its lack of competence, Reuters news agency said.

Since the 1980s, the government of France has alternated between two rather stable coalitions:
on the centre-left, one led by the Socialist Party and with minor partners such as Europe Ecology – The Greens, the Left Party, and the Radical Party of the Left.
on the centre-right, one led by the Union for a Popular Movement and previously its predecessors Rally for the Republic and the Union for French Democracy, with support from the New Centre.
It is difficult for parties outside these two major coalitions to make significant inroads, although the National Front has had sizable successes.
Is the FN the french Tea Party?
SO they surrender to iran right
We are talking about the French :P:
