In 2002, her father lost 82.2%- 17.8%,

when even the Socialists encouraged their supporters to vote for the right wing Chirac.
This years result looks likely to show that many French rightwingers would sooner vote for a fascist than someone backed by the Socialists.

Sounds familiar.

Really, this was never ever in doubt. The hysteria whipped up by the media for a candidate who only reached the second round because of a three-way split between two fairly centrist candidates and a slightly more leftist one is ridiculous-even the fact that her vote share has gone from 20something percent to an anticipated thirty something percent is just a reflection of how little perceived difference or choice there was between other parties. The 35% she'll get will in large part be a protest at the inability of mainstream regional politics to provide solutions to global issues, much like Brexit. Really, she's a fucking embarrassment like Farage who has greatly benefitted from a disproportionate amount of attention given to her partly as a result of her abuse of the same EU funds that UKIP suckled from in the ultimate act of political irony...
