No mention of it being Racist, no it is described as France's far right National Front party, an anti immigration and anti EU party.

Which gives the impression that it is a more acceptable political party than any of our own nationalist parties.

Who's followers are so often described as knuck-draggers, racist, Nazis, fascists, bigots, etc.

but you need O level Fransh....because zay tweed in Fransh

and they support hunting ( hutte de chasse )
and look zair eez a photo of Marine cudding a leedol bonny
before they shoot or kill it ....

shades of Denis Thatcher saying of Margt:
get that off her before we have a dead calf on our hands ......
Are the SNP and Plaid Cymru less acceptable than the Front National?
What exactly is meant by the perpetual epithet "far right"? Does it mean, do you think, tending toward fascism? because if it does, it is exactly what they are opposed to in the Islamification of their country. Nothing else, in France or in Europe, is more fascistic than Islam.
Corby...did the Leaders of the SNP and Plaid Cymru ever refer to the Nazi gas chambers as "a point of detail of the history of the Second World War"

Jean-Marie Le Pen did and he was expelled by his own daughter, from the Party that helped form, for doing so.
Your question is answered within the article, in the blue box.
To summarise:
The first leader of the FN, Jean Marie Le Pen, was convicted of xenophobia and anti-Semitism in 2005. He was also found guilty of inciting racial hatred against Muslims.
His daughter took over leadership and has strived for a softer image that doesn't demonise groups and has expelled the most controversial members. However, she was charged with inciting racial hatred when she compared Muslim street prayers to Nazi occupation last year.

So you see, the overall image of the FN is not much different to the image of the NF.
Even after its 're-branding' I am struggling to see how Front National is more acceptable than the SNP or PC.
Corby...I would respectfully suggest that there is very little in common between SNP/PC, and the Front National.
If they support hunting, I have no time for them !
According to ANOTHEOLDGIT'S opinion the Front National is politically more acceptable but he may mean more acceptable to him
The Front National have widely been described as racist, and not just by "the Left"
Le Pen's daughter has tried to make them more respectable, by toning down the overt racism
Ignoring comparisons with "any of our own nationalist parties", which would be pointless and irrelevant, a key difference between them and, say, the NF, BNP etc - is that they attract a lot of middle class support. Makes them more like UKIP used to be like, really
...in other words, they are very "French", i.e. more your pernod, pastis and fur coat Nazi, than your British "laced up boots and service cafe" variety :-)

No more acceptable to the French people, judging by this.

*** France's far right National Front party is expected to make huge gains in Sunday's regional elections after seizing upon the Paris terror attacks and Europe's migrant crisis. ***

*** The anti immigration, anti EU party will lead the first round of votes in six out of 13 regions, a survey by Ipsos pollsters predicted. ***

Is the answer, one has a future, and the other one hasn't?

// It was a disastrous result for Ukip. It confirms that the party is finished. Having had a terrible general election, the party has now lost its reason for existing. Its purpose is to win the argument for Britain to leave the European Union. Not only did the voters give it just one seat in May, but they elected a Conservative government committed to a referendum. The question of our EU membership will be decided by the British people in the next two years – and Ukip has so little support that the “leave” campaigners want as little to do with it and its backward-looking image as possible. //

Goodness gracious Gromit...some on here won't like that !

UKIP continue to enthuse but not persuade, and they will continue to lose elections into the future...if there is a future for them in Britain.
The other thing with UKIP is that they have lost their focus: they started pushing some of their other ideas, including the "no politicians can be trusted" line, which is dodgy ground for politicians to take !

UKIP came second, Oldham has a high percentage of ethnic minority communities, there was a high proportion of postal votes.

Need I say more?

Perhaps a little too early yet to start blowing your trumpet?
UKIP...is a single-issue Party. Look at its history. Farage himself has said on numerous occasions that his only goal is to bring about a referendum on Britain's continuing membership of the EU. We now appear to have that referendum, although we are not sure exactly when.

So why would UKIP need to continue to exist ?
AOG...even if there was some irregularities in the By-Election, and nobody has produced any proof yet that there was, apart from innuendo, UKIP still lost and Labour won....get over it !
Any reports of the death of UKIP are greatly exaggerated. Oldham's electorate is one quarter ethnic. This group was told who to vote for, and how to vote by post (and possibly how many times). It is an indicator of nothing other that skulduggery.

One could say that about your beloved Labour Party.

You should be showing more concerns over the demise of Labour at General Elections, than praising a safe seat win, up North, or taking the oportunity to have a go at even your usual whipping boy Nigel Farage and UKIP.
