Driller, you are aware that Le Pen gained seats?

Electoral successes (2012-2017)

In the municipal elections held on 23 and 30 March 2014, lists officially supported by National Front won mayoralties in 12 cities: Beaucaire, Cogolin, Fréjus, Hayange, Hénin-Beaumont, Le Luc, Le Pontet, Mantes-la-Ville, Marseille 7th sector, Villers-Cotterêts, Béziers and Camaret-sur-Aigues. Following the municipal elections, the National Front has, in cities of over 1,000 inhabitants, 1,546 and 459 councilors at two different levels of local government.[164] The international media described the results as "historic",[165][166][167] and "impressive", although the International Business Times suggested that "hopes for real political power remain a fantasy" for the National Front.[168]

The National Front received 4,712,461 votes in the 2014 European Parliament election, finishing first with 24.86% of the vote and 24 of France's 74 seats.[169] "It was the first time the anti-immigrant, anti-EU party had won a nationwide election in its four-decade history."[170] The party's success came as a shock in France and the EU.[171][172]
Presidential and parliamentary climax (2017-present)

On 24 April 2017, a day after the first round of the presidential election, Marine Le Pen announced that she would temporarily step down as the party's leader in an attempt to unite voters.[30] In the second round of voting, Le Pen was defeated 66.1% to 33.9% by her rival Emmanuel Macron of En Marche ![173]

During the following parliamentary elections, the FN got 13.02% of the vote, which represented a contre-performance compared to the 13.07% of the 2012 elections. The party has seemed to have suffered of the demobilization of its popular voters. However, 8 deputies were elected (6 FN and 2 affiliated), the best number for the FN in a majority parliamentary election since its creation (proportionnal mode was used in the 1986 elections). Marine Le Pen was elected for the first time at the National Assembly and Gilbert Collard has been re-elected. Ludovic Pajot became the youngest member of the current French parliament at 23.

....plus AFD in Germany?......In the 2017 German federal elections the AfD won 12.6% of the vote and received 94 seats; this was the first time it had won seats in the Bundestag

Of course I'm aware. I actually think it's a good thing too, but it's not what was predicted on here is it?

No idea....I only have selective forensic memory of old NCM posts.....various people were predicting a backlash against the EU......the backlash happened, and is continuing....even Poland and Hungary are joining in "no more immigrants"

Even if the numbers are short of predictions, I still remember the numbers that Saint Farage used to get in the early days.....look where that led?....I guess time will tell, just like it did for UKIP and Brexit.......you guys can only keep sticking your fingers in the dyke for so long....eventually it collapses!!
