Well, France is a country with: one of the higher level of taxation, 20% of the workforce that works for the government and affiliates, rigid and unwelcoming business and labour regulations, etc. At the same time, it is a country very difficult to reform because any changes, even small, immediately trigger riots. Lastly, at this point, referring to the RN as "far right" is just political FUD. It is the main party of the right and, with perspective, not so different to Chirac's RPR when it won the 1986 general election. But it is also populist and the leading party of the "working class" so might promise a lot of things, even contradictory ones but it's anyone guess what it would really be able to, or willing to, do in power.

Basically this, far right has been overused as a term which led to it becoming useless, it is just the same right of 20-30 years ago, and even that is incorrect given the RN is not against abortion, homosexual marriage or many other points the right defended in the past

  Dude, their party has literally been founded by SS officers.

    That was the FN in 1972, not the RN in 2026. Your comment is like saying that the US Democratic party is pro-slavery, it is nonsensical.

      So they changed their names and not their attitudes? That is a weak evasion.

    And the modern descendant of the SFIO party which is the Socialist Party were literal Nazi collaborators under Pétain, one can hold nuance and judge the party by its current constitution both in terms of people and policies. Also small detail, the original founder (Le Pen) of the FN/RN turned against his daughter in his latter years because she betrayed the line of Le Pen father. The true hardcore far right is incarnated in Reconquete and the Zemmour/Knafo/Marechal axis.
