There seems to be a great deal of talking in circles in the last few pages of this thread, about a subject which is pretty simple.
The Front National is
1. Part of the French right-wing populist tradition.
2. Broadly similar to right-wing populists in other Western countries.
3. Gaining in popularity for similar reasons that right-wing populism is gaining in popularity throughout the West.
I think those three statements are all fairly obvious and that we all agree on them, nor are they particularly interesting or original insights for that reason. But if you do disagree with any of them you should be willing to offer your explanation, since it would be at odds with the conventional wisdom, both in France and abroad.
